REDUCING LATENCY IN A MESH NETWORK

摘要

A message (300) that has been transmitted in a mesh network from a source node (102) and intended for reception by a destination node (104) is received by a relay node (125) and also received by a number of other nodes (121,123). A minimized latency can be obtained by the use of a timer such that the message is relayed by the relay node (125) only if no other node has already relayed the message.
