As a part of the mesh procedures, path selection protocol and path selection metric are used to determine a mesh path over multiple hops. Path selection protocol and path selection metric are replacable module. Active path selection protocol and active path selection metric are signaled through Active Path Selection Protocol Identifier field and Active Path Selection Metric Identifier field in the Mesh Configuration element (see 9.4.2.98). For path selection metric, Airtime link metric is defined in clause 14.9, as the default path selection metric. Value 1 is assigned to represent Airtime link metric in the Active Path Selection Metric Identifier. In summary of the problem, the current Airtime link metric cannot express high throughput link appropriately and causes significant quantization error. Add another Path Selection Metric, "High throughput airtime link metric", that scales to higher throughput links considering 802.11n and 802.11ac usage. To minimize the impact to the specification, the new Active Path Selection Metric shall work with existing Active Path Selection Protocol, HWMP. Only change the metric module. In particular: a) Assign a new Acive Path Selection Metric Identifier in 9.4.2.98, b) Add new clause describing "High throughput airtime link metric" after 14.9 (Airtime link metric), REVISED: Adopt changes proposed in
