Abstract

Technology for neighbor selection with radio channel diversity awareness is described. In one embodiment, processing logic receives an RSSI value, a neighbor-sector identifier that identifies an antenna, and an unused channel list from each neighboring mesh network device. The processing logic generates a data structure with data in entries that are sorted according to an order of ascending or descending RSSI values. The processing logic performs a first search of the data structure to obtain a first set of radio channels for a first set of communication links and a second search to obtain a second set of radio channels for a second set of communication links. The processing logic determines that the second set of radio channels is higher than a second connectivity-quality metric value of the first set of radio channels and sends a neighbor pairing request to each neighboring mesh network device in the second set.
