A method and system for call capacity control in a mesh network are disclosed. The mesh network uses on-device SIP proxy and includes multiple client devices, mesh points ('MPs'), and mesh access points ('MAPs'). The method of updating call capacity information (&#x201c;CCI&#x201d;) is also disclosed. Adaptive Wireless Routing (&#x201c;AWR&#x201d;) protocol is used to establish connectivity among all the mesh access points. Messages are sent to one or more of the plurality of nodes on a periodic basis or as triggered by changes in the call capacity of an MAP, wherein the routing update messages include call capacity information. CAC modules on mesh portals or mesh access points can use the call capacity information to build up a CCI database for all the MAPs in the mesh cloud to assist in the CAC decision-making.

Method and system for call admission control in a wireless mesh network

A method and system for a dynamic metric and wireless hello protocol for use in a wireless mesh network are disclosed. In one embodiment a computer-implemented method, comprises determining a route for a packet to travel through a mesh network. A first time period needed to transmit the packet between a first node and a second node in the mesh network is estimated. The first time period is normalized to generate a normalized value. A route is calculated using the normalized value.
