Method For Communicating In A Network Comprising Wire And Wireless Nodes
First Claim
1. A method of communication in a network (1) comprising so-called non-wired nodes (A, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5) provided with communication means (21, 22) enabling communication by non-wired channel and so-called wired nodes (R, S, T, U) provided with communication means (11, 12, 15, 16) enabling communication by wired channel and by non-wired channel, wherein a wired node repeats by non-wired channel a message received exclusively by wired channel if it does not receive a message receipt confirmation signal, the transmission of this confirmation signal beginning in a first time slot (T1) after the receipt of the message by wired channel.

Abstract
Abstract The inventive method makes it possible to communicate in a network comprising wireless nodes provided with communications means enabling to communicate through a wireless channel and wire nodes provided with communication means enabling to communicate through a wire channel. Said method is characterised in that the wire node repeats a message received exclusively through a wireless channel if a signal acknowledging the message reception is not received, wherein the transmission of said acknowledgement signal is generated in a first time slot upon the reception of the signal though a wire channel.
