There should be some optimizations for a combined "fixed/mobile" mesh.
For example the mesh should prefer nodes with "infinite" powersupply
for routes and flooding routing data.

The best case would be if the wireless node is not needed for
routing/flooding at all. In this case it does not need to send TCs, so
it doesn't really congest the network that much.
