ABSTRACT:
A root node sets wireless network timer values by using dynamic location information of a plurality of non-root nodes. In an embodiment, the root node and the non-root nodes are bridges, wherein the non-root bridges are connected to the root bridge in a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint manner. The locations of the nodes are determined by using a location system and locations receivers. The root node and each of the non-root nodes use this location information to determine the optimum timer values for the wireless network, thereby improving throughput on the wireless network. In one embodiment, the location system is the global positioning system (GPS). The location receiver is a GPS location receiver that is embedded in each of the nodes. In another embodiment, the GPS location receiver is external to the nodes, and the location information is determined remotely.
