Abstract
A plurality of repeater devices, each of which may enable forwarding extreme high frequency (EHF) communication between EHF-enabled wireless devices, may form a repeater mesh network. Some or all of the plurality of repeater devices may utilize non-extremely high frequency (non-EHF) control connection in communicating with other repeater devices in the repeater mesh network. The non-EHF control connections may be utilized in establishing, configuring, and/or managing the repeater mesh network. The non-EHF control connections may be also be utilized to enable sending, requesting, and/or receiving periodic and/or dynamic control information. The non-EHF control connections may also be utilized while forming, and/or managing forwarding routes of EHF communication via the repeater mesh network, to enable negotiating and/or setting different isolation techniques among the repeater devices, such as polarization isolation, spatial isolation, and/or use of different frequencies.
