In one embodiment, a mobile node in a wireless network determines a physical location of the mobile node. The mobile node obtains telemetry data. The mobile node makes a comparison between the physical location of the mobile node and a location-based telemetry reporting policy. The mobile node sends, based on the comparison, the telemetry data via the wireless network.

On-location telemetry subscriptions

In one embodiment, a gateway to a Layer-3 network forms a first Layer-2 tunnel between the gateway and a first wireless access point (AP) that communicates wirelessly with a first mobile node of a mobile system (MS) via a first wireless connection. The gateway generates a mapping that associates an onboard device of the MS with the first AP and an identifier for the MS, based on traffic conveyed via the first Layer-2 tunnel and associated with the onboard device, the traffic comprising a header that indicates the identifier for the MS. The gateway receives, from a second AP, an indication that the MS is roaming from the first wireless connection to a second wireless connection, the indication including the identifier for the MS. The gateway updates the mapping to associate the onboard device of the MS with a second AP, based on the indication that the MS is roaming.

Wireless backhauling system using a mono-tunnel for fast-moving mobile domains

In one embodiment, a mobile system scans wireless channels for any upcoming access points using a dedicated monitor radio of the mobile system. The mobile system identifies a particular wireless channel in use by an upcoming access point. The mobile system notifies a second radio of the mobile system of the particular wireless channel. The mobile system performs a handoff between a current access point and the upcoming access point in part by switching the second radio of the mobile system to the particular wireless channel of the upcoming access point.

Throughput and wireless channel interference mitigation for mobile systems

In one embodiment, a device identifies a path of travel of a mobile system. The device subdivides the path of travel into a plurality of zones. The device generates time-slotted channel hopping schedules for the plurality of zones, each time-slotted channel hopping schedule having an associated zone among the plurality of zones. The device causes the mobile system to communicate wirelessly with networking infrastructure located along the path of travel, in accordance with a particular one of the time-slotted channel hopping schedules while the mobile system is located in its associated zone.

Time and space slotted channel hopping for fast moving nodes

In one embodiment, a device identifies a plurality of access points of a wireless network. The device also identifies a plurality of mobile nodes of a mobile system. The device establishes a first label-switched path in the wireless network that comprises a wireless link between a first mobile node in the plurality of mobile nodes and a first access point in the plurality of access points. The device establishes a second label-switched path in the wireless network that comprises a wireless link between a second mobile node of the mobile system and a second access point in the plurality of access points.

Mobility for wireless networks with multipath support

In one embodiment, a networking device receives packets of a traffic flow destined for a mobile system. The networking device sends a first flowlet of the traffic flow towards the mobile system via a first wireless access point. The networking device determines an idle time between the first flowlet and a second flowlet of the traffic flow. The networking device sends, based on the idle time, the second flowlet towards the mobile system via a second wireless access point.
