Abstract
A network node for a wireless network comprises a processor, a memory and an antenna. The network node is operable to generate a random or pseudo-random number and to assign said number as an address for identifying said node to other nodes in said network.
Claims15
A network node for a wireless network, the network node comprising
- a processor;
- a memory;
- and
- an antenna, wherein the network node is configured to
- generate a pseudo-random number, wherein the pseudo-random number generator is a sequence number generated by a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) applying a PRNG algorithm,
- assign said pseudo-random number as an address to identify said network node with local uniqueness to other nodes in said wireless network, wherein each node has an identical PRNG algorithm and seeds the identical PRNG algorithm with a different initial state;
- and
- update the address prior to each transmission by the network node by replacing a current sequence number by a next sequence number generated by the pseudo-random number generator.

A method for identifying a node in transmissions between neighboring nodes of a network, the method comprising:
- at said node, generating a pseudo-random number, wherein the pseudo-random number generator is a sequence number generated by a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) applying a PRNG algorithm;
- assigning said pseudo-random number as an address to identify said node with local uniqueness to other nodes in said network, wherein each node has an identical PRNG algorithm and seeds the identical PRNG algorithm with a different initial state;
- and
- updating the address prior to each transmission by the network node by replacing a current sequence number by a next sequence number generated by the pseudo-random number generator.
