1. A device for controlling data packet transmissions in a wireless network having a plurality of nodes, comprising:
- a control unit that is adapted to adjust transmission parameters of an intermediate node (Ni) for forwarding a data packet received by the intermediate node (Ni) based on a distance between the intermediate node (Ni) and a sender node (A) travelled by the data packet, characterized in that the transmission parameters are set to preferential transmission parameters for the data packet, if it is determined that the distance travelled by the data packet exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract
For reducing and homogenizing an end-to-end delay of data packet transmissions in a large-scale wireless mesh network, a device, a system and a method are provided for controlling data packet transmission in the wireless network, wherein transmission parameters of an intermediate node are adjusted based on a distance between the intermediate node and a sender node.

13. A system for controlling data packet transmissions in a wireless network, the system comprising:
-
a control centre; and a plurality of nodes, at least some of them including a device for controlling data packet transmissions in a wireless network having a plurality of nodes, having a control unit that is adapted to adjust transmission parameters of an intermediate node (Ni) for forwarding a data packet received by the intermediate node (Ni) based on a distance between the intermediate node (Ni) and a sender node (A) travelled by the data packet, wherein the transmission parameters are set to preferential transmission parameters for the data packet, if it is determined that the distance travelled by the data packet exceeds a predetermined threshold; and wherein data packets are transmitted from a sender node (A) to a destination node via intermediate nodes (Ni) by multi-hop transmissions in the wireless network. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. A method for controlling data packet transmissions in a wireless network having a plurality of nodes, the method comprising:
-
receiving a data packet at an intermediate node (Ni); adjusting transmission parameters based on a distance between a sender node (A) and the intermediate node (Ni) travelled by the data packet; processing the data packet based on the adjusted transmission parameters, and forwarding the data packet, characterized in that the transmission parameters are set to preferential transmission parameters for the data packet, if it is determined that the distance travelled by the data packet exceeds a predetermined threshold.
