Abstract
A special controller and a special node design for wireless communications are disclosed for generating a control messaging exchange on a wireless control channel between a controller and each mesh node: (a) to alter the wireless network topology, comprised of interconnected nodes, for load distribution, (b) to select better quality wireless links for control and data channel communications, and (c) to take away the burden of frequent route calculations from each node, making packet forwarding more efficient and optimal.
