Multi-hop architectures of a wireless mesh network (WMN) compatible with the existing WiFi devices and potentially offering a much larger total capacity than a single-hop WiFi cell. The proposed architectures are scalable and do not have the hidden-terminal and the exposed-terminal problems intrinsic in a multi-hop environment that limited the space reuse efficiency of a WMN. The various disclosed architectures also support a fast and efficient location tracking scheme and can overcome the low space reuse efficiency in many of the existing WMN architectures.
