Abstract
A method and apparatus for joint routing and distributed scheduling in a directional mesh network includes receiving feedback for multiple candidate paths from at least one neighbor node, Semi-static and instantaneous metrics are determined based upon the received feedback. Routing from a first node to a destination node is determined based upon the semi-static and instantaneous metrics, and a transmission is routed in accordance with the determined route from the first node to the destination node.
