ABSTRACT:
A wireless mesh network router comprises at least one transceiver to receive a packet over a wireless communication channel and path selection circuitry. The packet identifies a source node and a destination node in a multichannel mesh network. The path selection circuitry combines a channel-metric matrix associated with the packet's source node and a channel-metric matrix associated with the packet's destination node to determine a bottleneck channel for the source-destination pair. The next-hop node and associated transmission channel may be selected from the destination node matrix based on the bottleneck channel.
