| 发明名称 | Method and apparatus for relaying messages in a PLC network | ||
| 摘要 | A method for relaying messages in a PLC network including a relay node and at least two end nodes attached to the relay node, the method including at the relay node receiving respective first probing messages from the at least two end nodes; processing the respective first probing messages to generate respective first feedback messages; broadcasting the respective first feedback messages to the at least two end nodes; wherein the first probing messages are formed as orthogonal signals and received substantially simultaneously in a first time slot, and wherein the first feedback messages are formed as orthogonal signals and broadcast substantially simultaneously in a second time slot. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method for relaying messages in a PLC network, the PLC network including a relay node and at least two end nodes attached to said relay node, the method comprising: receiving respective first probing messages from said at least two end nodes at said relay node; processing said respective first probing messages at said relay node to generate respective first feedback messages; and broadcasting said respective first feedback messages at said relay node to said at least two end nodes; wherein, said first probing messages are formed as orthogonal signals and received substantially simultaneously in a first time slot, such that the first probing messages are transmitted during a common time slot, andsaid first feedback messages are formed as orthogonal signals and broadcast substantially simultaneously in a second time slot, such that the first feedback messages are transmitted during a separate common time slot. | ||
