Abstract
The invention describes a method for communication between nodes (UR1, UR2; UC1-UC16) of a network, interconnected by a transmission channel and each identified by a node identification number in which at least one transmitter node emits at least one message to at least one message recipient node. The message comprises a description of a path (PH) between the transmitter node which emits the message and the message recipient node. The path is defined by the node that emits the message via a sequence of node identification numbers along the path itself.

23. A method for communication between nodes of a network interconnected by a transmission channel and each identified by a node identification number comprising:
-
(a) at least one transmitter node emitting at least one message to at least one message recipient node, (b) said message including a description of a path between said transmitter node that emits the message and said message recipient node, said path being defined by the node that emits the message, via a sequence of node identification numbers along said path; (c) the nodes of the path regenerate the message by sending it to the next node defined by said path stored in the message; (d) each node that receives a message from a node preceding it along said path sends a confirmation of reception of the message to said node preceding it; and (e) when a node does not receive a message of confirmation to its own message addressed to the subsequent node along the path, it makes at least one attempt at transmission of said message to the node which, in said path, is subsequent to the node from which the confirmation message has not been received. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)

43. A method for communication between nodes of a network, interconnected by a transmission channel and each identified by a node identification number, in which at least one transmitter node emits at least one message to at least one message recipient node, comprising:
-
said message includes a description of a path between said transmitter node that emits the message and said message recipient node, said path being defined by the node that emits the message, via a sequence of node identification numbers along said path; providing a plurality of collecting nodes and a plurality of groups each comprising a series of control nodes, each group being assigned to a respective main collecting node and the main collecting node interrogating via said messages the control nodes assigned thereto to collect information from said control nodes; each control node of a group assigned to a main collecting node is also assigned to an additional collecting node; in the absence of faults on the collecting nodes, the control nodes of each group communicate with the respective main collecting node to which they are assigned; and in the event of a fault on said main collecting node, the control nodes assigned to it are re-assigned each to the respective additional collecting mode.

44. A method for communication between nodes of a network, interconnected by a transmission channel and each identified by a node identification number in which at least one transmitter node emits at least one message to at least one message recipient node, comprising:
-
said message includes a description of a path between said transmitter node that emits the message and said message recipient node, said path being defined by the node that emits the message, via a sequence of node identification numbers along said path; said messages comprise control messages of all the nodes along a path between a node emitting the message and a message recipient node; and said control messages being modified by each node along the path, with the addition of at least one datum relating to a condition of each node along said path.
