1. A method comprising:
- receiving a packet destined to a wireless node;
buffering the packet;
scheduling a time at which to transmit the packet to the wireless node, wherein scheduling the packet includes determining an application-layer protocol associated with the packet and basing the time at which to transmit on the determined application-layer protocol; and
wirelessly transmitting the packet to the wireless node at the scheduled time.

Abstract
A method may include receiving a packet destined to a wireless node, buffering the packet, and scheduling a time at which to transmit the packet to the wireless node. Scheduling the packet may include determining an application-layer protocol associated with the packet. The method may also include wirelessly transmitting the packet to the wireless node at the scheduled time. In one embodiment, the method may also include sending information to a node that originated the packet indicating that the packet is buffered. In another embodiment, sending information to the node that originated the packet indicating that the packet is scheduled to be wirelessly transmitted at the scheduled time.

11. A method comprising:
-
receiving a packet destined to a wireless node; buffering the packet; scheduling a time at which to transmit the packet to the wireless node, wherein scheduling the packet includes determining a semantic of a management protocol associated with the packet and basing the time at which to transmit the packet on the determined semantic, wherein the management protocol includes an application-layer protocol or a network-layer protocol; and wirelessly transmitting the packet to the wireless node at the scheduled time. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
