METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TRANSMISSIONS FROM A RESOURCE-RESTRICTED DEVICE, AND BATTERYLESS DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for controlling transmissions of a batteryless device (1) operating in a wireless network, the method comprising:
- the batteryless device (1) transmitting a frame including elements for controlling operation of a remote device (2a), or controlled device, the batteryless device being configured with a predetermined number of planned retransmissions of the control frame,the batteryless device sensing a change in the physical phenomenon induced by operation of the controlled device (2a),the batteryless device determining, based on the sensing step, the success or failure of the frame transmission,in case the transmission has succeeded, the batteryless device omitting further retransmissions of the control frame.
