Abstract
The invention describes a method for transmitting a packet in a wireless network of nodes. At a beginning of a scheduled time slot a metric in the node is set, in which the metric indicates a need to transmit a packet to a receiver in the wireless network. The metric is mapped to a received power level and the packet is transmitted at a transmit power level so that the received power level is achieved at the receiver.
Claims21
A method for transmitting a packet in a wireless network of nodes, comprising in a node at a beginning of a scheduled time slot:
- setting a metric in the node, in which the metric indicates a need to transmit a packet to a receiver in the wireless network;
- mapping the metric to a received power level;
- and
- transmitting the packet at a transmit power level so that the received power level is achieved at the receiver.
