IDEA #56R6R1 APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ENHANCING WIRELESS MESH NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS

A wireless mesh network includes a first network node including a first antenna positioned in a first orientation, a first processor, and a first orientation sensor. The first processor is programmed to determine the first orientation using the first orientation sensor and to transmit, using the first antenna, the first orientation to a computing device. The network also includes a second network node including a second antenna positioned in a second orientation, a second processor, and a second orientation sensor. The second processor is programmed to determine the second orientation using the second orientation sensor and to transmit, using the second antenna, the second orientation to the computing device for use in comparing the first orientation with the second orientation. https://app.acclaimip.com/pdf/5LAPO1uTiU_bsA9evpOJQ7A7VoA6RtupR2QEx-U/US20130214970A1
