Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/076060
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). A method of a network entity for communicating with a mesh network is provided. The method comprises receiving, from a communication node in the mesh network, information including a network topology of the mesh network and an angle separation of antenna panels of a plurality of communication nodes in the mesh network; identifying a value associated with a number of links of each communication node of the plurality of communication nodes in the mesh network; determining whether a number of available channels is greater than or equal to the value plus one; identifying at least one potential connection of the plurality of communication nodes based on a threshold and the network topology of the mesh network when the number of available channels is less than the value plus one; and transmitting, to the communication node in the mesh network, a channel allocation decision based on the at least one potential connection of the communication node.
