HYBRID NETWORK SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION METHOD AND NETWORK NODE

摘要

Provided are a hybrid network system, a communication method and a network node. The hybrid network system includes a combined network architecture of a point-to-point network and a broadcast network, and the point-to-point network includes multiple point-to-point channels through which each network node can transmit a message to a corresponding network node or receive a message from the corresponding network node; the broadcast network includes multiple broadcast channels, and each broadcast channel has at most one transmitter at the same time, but multiple receivers; at least part of the network nodes have the ability to transmit the message to be broadcast; at least part of the network nodes have the ability to receive broadcast message; at least some of the network nodes are configured to select, at least according to the communication task to be performed by itself, the broadcast network or the point-to-point network to achieve the communication task to be performed. It is preferred that each of the network nodes has the ability to transmit and receive broadcast message. The hybrid network system of the embodiments of the present invention has high flexibility and high communication performance.
