introduces the possibility that your system could mesh
inefficiently. Figure 7 shows how a system could mesh efficiently,
yet also have the possibility of meshing inefficiently.
Figure 7. Inefficient Versus Efficient Meshing
The network can be improved with two separate techniques:
1. Convert some routers to end nodes.
2. Set up the network to prevent the routers from being in range
of each other (spatially separated by distance, or introducing
objects that increase radio interference, such as buildings).
Another advantage of the mesh network is the ability to extend the
distance of the end measurement from the wired gateway. By
