3.1 Network Topologies and Applications
3.1.1 Mobile Point-to-Point (PTP)
A mobile point-to-point system includes 2 units, while the bandwidth ratio between
the two MCU units is configurable according to the application. It can be symmetric
when a full duplex communication is required (50% to each unit) or asymmetric up to
10% to one unit (VC or node) and 90% to the other unit (i.e. Helicopter which
transmits video to the ground unit and its camera is controlled by it).

Example for asymmetric link: 8.4Mb/s configuration, where 10% of available BW is
allocated for uplink and 90% is allocated for downlink
allocated for uplink and 90% is allocated for downlink

3.1.2 Mobile MESH - Multi-Point-to-Multi-Point (MPTMP)
A multi-point-to-multi-point network is a cluster of MCUs over a radio link. The cluster
includes at least 2 MCU units and can run up to 32 MCUs. Each MCU unit receives
from, and transmits to, all other members of the cluster within a reception range.

3.1.3 Collaborative MESH
– Collaborative Relay
The Mobilicom Collaborative MESH technology is an enhancement to the Mobile
MESH capabilities. The Collaborative MESH allows to choose the data, which is
received by all cluster members simultaneously, to be relayed by any of the cluster
members (i.e. multiple MCUs can relay the data transmitted from a specific unit at the
same time). This feature significantly extends the network's range and reliability,
without any implication on its capacity (compared to a simple relay system).
