METHOD FOR COMMUNICATING IN A NETWORK COMPRISING A BATTERYLESS ZIGBEE DEVICE, NETWORK AND DEVICE THEREFOR
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communication in a network comprising a resource-restricted device, and at least one proxy device, wherein the method comprises the following steps:
- the resource-restricted device (ZGPD) transmitting a frame containing source identifier to be forwarded to a destination device in the network,the proxy device (ZP5) receiving the frame,the proxy constructing, from the frame, a packet to be forwarded to at least the destination device,the router device associating a delay to the packet and scheduling forwarding of the packet after this delay,wherein the step of constructing a packet from the frame comprises deriving source-related information from the received frame and including this information in the packet.

13. A proxy device comprising:
-
reception means for receiving data frame from a resource-restricted device in a wireless network, transmission means for forwarding the data frame towards a destination device in the network, as part of a packet, determination means for deriving source-related information from the received frame and including this information in the packet determination means for determining, from the reception quality of the frame, a forwarding delay of the packet. - View Dependent Claims (14)
