Abstract
Communicating using a mesh network is disclosed. A frame length used for communicating a packet between a first node and a second node of a wireless mesh network is selected. A route from the first node to the second node is determined including one or more intermediate nodes that receive and transmit the packet. Node to node communications within the frame along the route is selected such that a communication latency time is below a predetermined limit time for a predetermined percentage of communications between the first node and the second node.
