Abstract
Methods of establishing a bidirectional route between a route originator node and a route destination node in a wireless mesh network include the route originator node broadcasting a route request message to relay nodes in the network. The route request message identifies the route destination node as the final destination for the route request message and also identifies a transmitted power level. The relay nodes determine whether the link with the route originator node is bidirectional using the transmitted power level and the received signal strength to determine the power loss over the link and then by comparing its transmission power level to that power loss. The relay node forwards the route request message when the first link is bidirectional. This process is repeated at each node that receives the route request message until the route request message reaches the route destination mode.
