Introdution to MIMO MESH
Multiple antennas combined with digital signal
processing further enhances wireless link
performance.
Multiple antennas for both transmitters and
receivers vastly improve communication
performance
MIMO stands for Multiple-In Multiple-Out,
referring to the fact that when a packet is
transmitted into the channel it transmitted on
more than one antenna and when it comes out of
the channel it is received on multiple antennas.

the limitations of single carrier systems for
broadband applications where multipath is
present.
Next generation of intelligent mobile ad hoc networks
Mesh networking technology has emerged as a game-changer in the realm of wireless communication,
offering a flexible and resilient alternative to traditional infrastructure-based networks.
At its core, mesh networking enables devices to connect directly with each other, forming a decentralized
network where each node serves as a relay for data transmission.
This unique architecture endows mesh networks with several key characteristics, including self-organization,
fault tolerance, and scalability. In this introduction, we’ll delve into the fundamental principles of mesh technology
and explore how its distinctive features empower a wide range of applications across industries,
from smart homes to industrial IoT deployments.

MISSION CRITICAL COMMUNICATION
In critical situations where communication infrastructure may be compromised or nonexistent,
the fusion of mesh networks with drones holds immense potential to address communication challenges effectively.
Mesh Networking Technology, characterized by its decentralized architecture,
allows devices to establish ad-hoc connections, forming a resilient network capable of adapting to dynamic conditions.
When integrated with drones, these mesh networks gain unprecedented mobility and agility,
enabling rapid deployment and coverage extension in critical scenarios such as natural disasters,
search and rescue missions, and emergency response operations.
Drones, with their aerial capabilities and versatility, serve as dynamic nodes within the mesh network,
facilitating seamless communication even in remote or hazardous environments where traditional
infrastructure may be unavailable. By leveraging the collective intelligence of interconnected drones,
mesh networks can relay vital information, coordinate response efforts, and provide connectivity to isolated areas,
thereby enhancing situational awareness and improving overall response efficiency.
Advantages of Mesh technology with Drones
Resilient Communication
Mesh networks enable drones to establish resilient communication links, ensuring continuous data transmission even in challenging environments or when infrastructure is damaged during disasters.
Extended Coverage
By forming a mesh network, drones can extend coverage over large and remote areas, providing communication support to search and rescue teams, disaster responders, and surveillance operations in areas where traditional methods may be limited.
Real-time Data Transmission
Mesh-enabled drones facilitate real-time data transmission, allowing for immediate sharing of critical information such as GPS coordinates, live video feeds, and sensor data, essential for coordinating rescue efforts and surveillance operations.
Adaptive Networking
Mesh networks with drones adapt dynamically to changing conditions, automatically rerouting data through the most efficient pathways, ensuring continuous communication even in dynamic and unpredictable environments.
Redundancy and Reliability
The redundancy inherent in mesh networks ensures that even if individual drones or communication nodes fail, the network remains operational, enhancing reliability and resilience in critical situations such as disaster response and search and rescue operations.
Enhanced Situational Awareness
Mesh-enabled drones facilitate enhanced situational awareness by providing real-time communication and surveillance capabilities, enabling responders to make informed decisions and coordinate activities effectively during search and rescue missions or disaster response operations.
No compromise
Infrastructure-based systems relying on cellular or WiFi technology typically depend on a central ‘hub’ node to ensure high-speed connectivity and maintain a good Quality of Service (QoS) for users. However, eliminating this infrastructure and introducing mobility, along with dynamic connectivity profiles, without compromising user QoS presents a significant challenge for developers of Wireless Mesh Networking systems, also known as MANET (Mobile Ad hoc Networking).
A MANET system comprises a collection of mobile or temporarily stationary devices tasked with facilitating seamless streaming of voice, data, and video between any pair of devices, utilizing others within the network as relays to circumvent the need for traditional infrastructure.
Drones play a crucial role in addressing this challenge and making a substantial difference. With their inherent mobility and flexibility, drones serve as dynamic nodes within the mesh network, rapidly adapting to varying connectivity demands and extending coverage to remote or inaccessible areas.
The power of COFDM comunication
The integration of COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology
with mesh networks represents a significant advancement in the field of wireless communication.
COFDM is renowned for its robustness in transmitting data over challenging environments,
characterized by multipath interference, fading, and signal degradation. When combined with mesh networking,
COFDM enhances the reliability, resilience, and efficiency of communication networks across various applications.
Mesh networks, with their decentralized architecture, allow devices to connect directly with each other,
forming a self-organizing network that can adapt to changing conditions dynamically. By integrating COFDM technology,
mesh networks gain the ability to transmit data reliably over long distances and in harsh environmental conditions,
making them suitable for critical applications such as surveillance, disaster response, search and rescue, and industrial monitoring.
Main Features of Mesh Technology
Robustness: COFDM is highly resistant to multipath interference, fading, and signal degradation, making it suitable for communication in challenging environments such as urban areas, forests, or industrial sites.
Efficient Spectrum Utilization: COFDM efficiently utilizes available spectrum by dividing it into multiple orthogonal subcarriers, allowing for simultaneous transmission of multiple data streams.
Resistance to Interference: COFDM employs forward error correction and interleaving techniques, which enhance its resistance to interference caused by noise or other signals.
Long Range: COFDM technology enables communication over long distances without significant loss of signal quality, making it suitable for applications such as long-range surveillance or telemetry.
Flexibility: COFDM systems can adapt to changing channel conditions in real-time, adjusting parameters such as modulation scheme and error correction coding to optimize performance.
Low Latency: COFDM technology can achieve low latency transmission, making it suitable for applications that require real-time communication, such as video streaming or teleoperation.
Scalability: COFDM systems can be easily scaled to accommodate varying bandwidth
