Abstract
The invention relates to a method for configuring a network comprising several nodes. According to the invention, at least one node of said network, called a current node, implements a step of building a relay table identifying at least one node of the network, called a relay node, which is directly connected to the current node and which has at least one parent node in common with at least one parent node of the current node.
Claims18
A cooperation-aided method for configuring a network comprising:
- several nodes, wherein at least one node of said network, called a current node, implements a step of building a relay table identifying at least one node of the network, called a relay node, which is directly connected to the current node and which has at least one parent node in common with at least one parent node of the current node, wherein said relay table enables selecting the relay node to relay data between the current node and one of said at least one parent node of the current node, wherein the relay node is a supplementary node cooperating with the current node by sharing its own resources.
A cooperation-aided method for transmitting data in a network comprising:
- several nodes, wherein at least one node of said network, called current node, is configured to implement a step of building a relay table identifying at least one node of the network, called a relay node, which is directly connected to the current node and which has at least one parent node in common with at least one parent node of the current node, and wherein said current node implements a step of data transmission comprising the following steps:
- reading the relay table built for the current node,
- selecting a relay node from the relay table, which can be used to relay data between the current node and one of said at least one parent node of the current node,
- transmitting data from the current node to the parent node directly and via the relay node,
- so that the parent node can receive and combine data from both the current node and the relay node, wherein the relay node is a supplementary node cooperating with the current node by sharing its own resources.
