Abstract
A given wireless communication node of a wireless mesh network may include at least one processing unit and a plurality of radio modules, where at least one given radio module of the plurality of radio modules is capable of operating in a temporary network-sensing mode in which the given radio module gathers information about any other wireless communication node of the wireless mesh network that is sensed within the given wireless communication node's surrounding area by scanning for radio-frequency signals being emitted by any other radio module within at least a portion of the given wireless communication node's surrounding area while an antenna azimuth of the given radio module is being rotated.
