1. In a routing node for use in a hierarchical mesh network, wherein the routing node is operative to implement a data slot transmission schedule controlling transmission of data between a parent routing node and at least one child routing node, a method for scheduling data transfer, the method comprising receiving, at the routing node, slot scheduling information from a parent routing node, computing, for the routing node, a data slot transmission schedule for transmission of data between the parent routing node and at least one child routing node based on the slot scheduling information received from the parent node and the number of child routing nodes associated with the routing node.
