Abstract
Network hardware devices organized in a wireless mesh network (WMN) in which one mesh network device includes a first radio and one or more additional radios coupled to an application processor. The application processor receives a request to stream content data to a client consumption device, via the first radio, and receives portions of the content data from multiple devices at different retrieval rates via the one or more additional radios. The application processor calculates an average retrieval rate for retrieving the first segments and the second segments, determines a desired streaming bitrate value, and determines an end time to complete transmission of a first portion to the client consumption device. The application processor transmits, via the first radio, the first portion such that at least one byte of the first portion is transmitted at the end time to complete transmission of the first portion.
