ABSTRACT:
A mesh network communication system including one or more mesh networks and a plurality of remote subscriber users employing wireless, spread spectrum type communications for communicating with an access node in one of the mesh networks. The remote subscriber units can be mobile and can use handover to change nodes within a mesh network without a disruption of communication. The system and methods determine the location of a remote subscriber unit in a mesh network by the remote subscriber unit providing the access node with its home address and ID such that if the access node is not the home node, the home node is notified of the visiting node address such that the home node always knows the location of any remote subscriber unit based at the home node. Accordingly, communication between remote subscriber units where one of the remote subscriber units is not currently located at its home node can be accomplished without using the home node.
