Abstract
Transmitting data in a mesh network. A method includes identifying points on a piecewise continuous surface. The piecewise continuous surface defines minimum threshold power values to maintain a predetermined signal-to-noise ratio at a predetermined bitrate for a transmitter node transmitting to one or more receiver nodes in the mesh network. Points of a constant total power surface are identified defining required ratios of transmitting power for transmitting sources of the transmitter node. One or more points on the piecewise continuous surface that intersect with the constant total power surface are identified. As a result, transmitting power levels for the transmitting sources of the transmitter node are identified. As a result, data is transmitted at or above transmitting power levels, using the transmitting sources.
