Maintaining wireless communication between Consumer Electronic Control devices

A method of a wireless node aiding communication between CEC capable devices, comprising:

• the wireless node receiving a physical addresses based on a physical location of the wireless node relative to a base CEC capable device;
• the wireless nodes receiving logical addresses from CEC capable devices wire attached to the wireless node;
• the wireless nodes creating a proxy table that includes logical addresses of the CEC capable devices wire attached to an other wireless node;
• the wireless nodes responding with a proxy acknowledgement when the wireless node receives a packet intended for at least one of the CEC capable devices that is wire connected to the other wireless node, wherein the wireless node has an establish wireless link with the other wireless node.

A wireless network for maintaining communication between CEC networks, comprising:

• a first wireless node receiving logical addresses from CEC capable devices wire attached to the first wireless node;
• a second wireless node receiving logical addresses from CEC capable devices wire attached to the second wireless node;
• the first wireless node creating a proxy table that includes logical addresses of the CEC capable devices wire attached to the second wireless node;
• the second wireless node creating a proxy table that includes logical addresses of the CEC capable devices wire attached to the first wireless node;
• the first wireless node responding with a proxy acknowledgement when the first wireless node receives a packet intended for at least one of the CEC capable devices that is wire connected to the second wireless node, wherein the first wireless node has an establish wireless link with the second wireless node;
• the second wireless node responding with a proxy acknowledgement when the second wireless node receives a packet intended for at least one of the CEC capable devices that is wire connected to the first wireless node, wherein the second wireless node has an establish wireless link with the first wireless node.

A method of wireless nodes maintaining communication between devices, comprising:

• assigning physical addresses to the wireless nodes based on a physical location of the two wireless nodes relative to a base device;
• each of the wireless nodes receiving logical addresses from devices wire attached to each of the wireless nodes;
• each of the wireless nodes creating a proxy table that includes logical addresses of the devices wire attached to an other of the wireless nodes;
• each of the wireless nodes responding with a proxy acknowledgement when the wireless node receives a packet intended for at least one of the devices that is wire connected to the other wireless node, wherein the wireless node has an establish link with the other wireless node.
