1. A method, comprising:
- at a first node, receiving a radio frequency transmission from a second node during a first sub-frame of a frame with a first transceiver operating with a first center frequency;
processing the received radio frequency transmission; and
after a predetermined fixed interval, transmitting with a second transceiver operating with a second center frequency a radio frequency transmission with the processed received radio frequency transmission to a third node during a second sub-frame of a subsequent frame or of the same frame.

Abstract
In a wireless mesh network a method includes, at a first node, receiving a transmission from a second node during a first sub-frame of a frame with a first transceiver operating with a first center frequency; processing the received transmission; and transmitting, after a predetermined fixed interval, with a second transceiver operating with a second center frequency the processed received transmission to a third node during a second sub-frame of a subsequent frame or of the same frame. Also disclosed are computer programs to execute the method, as well as apparatus constructed to implement the method.

33. An apparatus, comprising:
-
means for receiving a radio frequency transmission from a first node during a first sub-frame of a frame, said receiving means comprising a first directional antenna operating at a first frequency in a first time division duplex channel; means for processing the received radio frequency transmission; and means for transmitting, after a predetermined interval, a radio frequency transmission with the processed received radio frequency transmission to a second node during a second sub-frame of a subsequent frame or of the same frame, said transmitting means comprising a second directional antenna operating at a second frequency in a second time division duplex channel, where the subsequent frame is one of an immediately subsequent frame or a frame that occurs after an intervening frame.
