1. A communication system, comprising:
a plurality of edge devices comprising a first edge device, wherein the first edge device comprises a donor antenna array, one or more relay antenna arrays, and a processor that is configured to:
fire a plurality of first beams from the donor antenna array based on different first beam indexes of a beam book at the donor antenna array;
fire a plurality of second beams from the one or more relay antenna arrays based on different second beam indexes of the beam book at the one or more relay antenna arrays;
measure signal strength of each fired beam of the fired plurality of first beams and the fired plurality of second beams;
identify a donor beam index from amongst the different first beam indexes for the donor antenna array based on the measured signal strength,
wherein the identified donor beam index has a first signal strength greater than a threshold;
identify one or more relay beam indexes from amongst the different second beam indexes for the one or more relay antenna arrays based on the measured signal strength,
wherein the identified one or more relay beam indexes have a second signal strength greater than the threshold;
establish a first communication link to an upstream neighboring node of a plurality of neighboring nodes based on the identified donor beam index;
create one or more second communication links to one or more downstream neighboring nodes of the plurality of neighboring nodes based on the identified one or more relay beam indexes; and
create a mesh network of the plurality of edge devices based on the establishment of the first communication link to the upstream neighboring node and the establishment of the one or more second communication links to the one or more downstream neighboring nodes.
