The design is more or less same with the IBSS. Additional procedures or elements that are required for mesh operation are as follow: * Add additional information element (IE) known as Mesh Channel Switch Parameters (MCSP) required in CSA action, beacon and probe response frames. * Forwarding of CSA frame if the conditions defined in the standard are met. Limitations: * Channel switch is only allow for the same band and also same channel width from the previous setting. These patches are reviewed and commented by Bob Copeland and Thomas Pedersen. Any further comments are welcomed.
