JOINING A MESH NETWORK IN A MULTIPLE NETWORK ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of a network node joining a desired wireless mesh network in a multi-network environment, comprising:
- searching for a compatible mesh network;
finding a compatible mesh network;
joining the found compatible mesh network;
indicating whether the joined mesh network is the desired mesh network; and
receiving input causing the network node to withdraw from the joined mesh network and search for other mesh networks to join if desired network has not been joined.

Abstract
Wireless mesh network nodes in a mesh network are operable to join a desired wireless mesh network in a multi-network environment. The nodes search for a compatible mesh network, find a compatible mesh network, join the found compatible mesh network, indicate whether the joined mesh network is the desired mesh network, and receive input causing the network node to withdraw from the joined mesh network and search for other mesh networks to join if desired network has not been joined.
