Abstract: An apparatus includes a network node configured to communicate with other network nodes via a communication network. The network node includes a plurality of transceivers and a controller. The controller includes a packet management module that identifies a link profile solution set that includes a set of link profiles corresponding to communication links for multicasting the message packet. The link profile solution set maximizes coverage of network target nodes of the multicast message packet. The packet management module places a first message clone of the message packet in a transceiver queue for transmission to one or more of the network target nodes, updates the link profile solution set when the first message clone reaches the end of the transceiver queue, and initiates transmission of the first message clone or drop the first message clone according to the updated link profile solution set.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for providing frequency assignment with managed transceiver resources. A frequency assignment protocol manages transceiver resources in making channel assignment decisions based on a number of links and state of transceivers. Long-term traffic patterns are captured and transceiver resource decisions are made based on an analysis of the captured long-term traffic patterns to increase a selected metric, such as connectivity, capacity or any other measurable quantity.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus arranged for efficient usage of network resources. Embodiments include nodes linked together, and the links having differing costs, e.g., bandwidth, frequency, and/or monetary cost, or any combination of these. Embodiments may identify neighboring nodes as either next-hop-neighbors or non-next-hop-neighbors. Next-hop-neighbors lie on the shortest path to any node, while non-next-hop-neighbors are nodes linked directly to a node, but the link is more costly than an alternative multi-hop path to the same node. Accordingly, embodiments may suppress packets to the non-next-hop-neighbors.
