Zusammenfassung:A system and method for controlling dynamic transmit power in a mesh network are disclosed. Distributed power transmit management methodology that implements transmission power management based on a comparison of signal to noise ratios from received beacon packets is used on a peer-to-peer basis. Embodiments work to keep all nodes accessible, dynamically adaptable to constant changes in the network, maximize frequency reuse, and reduce power requirements to maximize network performance while minimizing interference.
