1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a device part of a short-range wireless communication network, a data packet, the device including at least two radio nodes, wherein each of the at least two radio nodes are part of a concurrent transmission (CT) flooding network configured to concurrently transmit data to one or more corresponding receiving radios with corresponding radio nodes of other devices in the short-range wireless communication network;
determining a redundancy and a throughput requirement for transmission of the data packet, wherein any of a packet fragmentation process and a packet replication process are implemented based on the redundancy and throughput requirements;
synchronizing, across all devices configured to transmit either all or a fragment of the data packet in the short-range wireless communication network, a time for transmitting either all or the fragment of the data packet for each CT flooding network;
distributing, for each CT flooding network, any of a set of orthogonal radio frequency channels for transmitting either all or the fragment of the data packet; and
concurrently transmitting, by each of the at least two radios of the device, either all or the fragment of the data packet to corresponding receiving radios.
