Abstract
Flows admitted to a mesh node may be controlled through contention access parameters. The admitting node may determine a desired transmission opportunity duration, and a transmission opportunity frequency. Furthermore, the node may achieve the flow rate and delay bound requirements of the admitted flow based at least in part upon the desired transmission opportunity duration, and the transmission opportunity frequency. The data rate and the access frequency of the admitted node may be monitored at the physical access level. The flow rate requirement may be accomplished based at least in part upon an adjustment to the transmission opportunity duration. The delay bound requirement may be accomplished at least in part upon manipulation of the contention access parameters. The transmission opportunity duration and the access parameters may be determined by the upstream admitting nodes, which may reduce congestion near mesh portals, and accomplish increased data transfer.
