Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for closing open loops of a wireless mesh network are disclosed. One method includes determining a representation of a wireless mesh network including nodes, and wireless links between the nodes, identifying end-site nodes of the wireless mesh network, determining open loops of the wireless mesh network that include the identified end-site nodes, generating a list of potential nodes for closing each of the open loops with the identified end-site node, testing one or more of the potential nodes, comprising testing performance of a wireless connection between each end-site node and the one or more potential nodes, wherein the performance includes a number of wireless hops around each closed loop formed including the end-site node and each potential node, selecting a closing node based on the testing, and providing a wireless link connection between one or more of the end-site nodes and the closing node.
