Abstract
A heterogeneous wireless network topology suited for low-power, short-range and ubiquitous ad-hoc communication. The network topology integrates different wireless transmission technologies, in particular to a wireless sensor network including different node types and communication technologies. The network is highly heterogeneous and can be operated according to the master-slave principle. The nodes can have different wireless communication means tailored to their individual role in the network and other constraints, thus allowing different communication patterns.

14. A remote polling and control system in a heterogeneous wireless data transmission network for communication between a variety of wireless nodes interconnected via the network, comprising:
control means for polling data from remotely accessible nodes of a first type located in the network and/or remotely controlling functions executable by remotely controllable nodes of a second type, the nodes being in a stand-by mode before and after being called by the control means. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
