Mesh Satellite Network
Mesh Satellite Network is a satellite architecture in which satellites are interconnected through multiple communication paths. It supports distributed routing and resilience in space.
Concept/Framework
Mesh Topology
Mesh Topology is a network structure in which nodes are interconnected through multiple paths. It provides path diversity and resilience compared with simpler layouts.
Concept/Framework
Metro Network
The transport infrastructure layer connecting access sites, aggregation points, and data centers within a single metropolitan area or region, built on optical transport and carrier service technologies, sitting between local…
Concept/Framework
Microwave Backhaul
A mobile backhaul implementation using a point-to-point microwave radio link between a base station and the core network or an aggregation point, requiring unobstructed line-of-sight between the two endpoints, providing…
Concept/Framework
Microwave Link
A microwave link is a directional wireless communications path that uses microwave frequencies to connect two fixed endpoints. It typically forms a transport link for backhaul, intersite connectivity, or critical…
Concept/Framework
Middle Mile
Middle Mile is the transport segment between local access networks and core or aggregation infrastructure that carries traffic beyond the access edge.
Concept/Framework
Midhaul Transport
Midhaul Transport is the transport segment that connects radio or access network elements to aggregation or core parts of the network.
Protocol
Mobile Access Network
A mobile access network is the collection of radio access elements, control logic, and supporting transport that provides connectivity to moving users and devices. It is the access layer that…
Service Model
Mobile Ad Hoc Network
A self-organizing, infrastructure-less mesh network composed specifically of mobile nodes that continuously establish, adjust, and tear down connections to neighbors as they move, requiring routing protocols designed for frequent, unpredictable…
Concept/Framework
Mobile Backhaul
The transport network segment connecting a cellular base station to the core network, carrying aggregated subscriber traffic between the radio access point and the rest of the mobile network, implemented…
