Abstract
Techniques are described for enhancing wireless communication using millimeter wave (mmW) communication and mesh network topology. One method includes transmitting data to a first wireless device via a first mmW communication beam from a base station, determining that a performance level of the first mmW communication beam is below a threshold value based on transmitting the data, and communicating with the first wireless device over a transmission route based on a performance level of a second mmW communication beam. In some examples, the transmission route includes a first segment that includes the second mmW communication beam and a second segment that includes a wireless mesh network.
