CONFIGURING NEW PATHS IN WIRELESS DETERMINISTIC NETWORKS

摘要

In one embodiment, a first node in a wireless deterministic network communicates to a second node configuration information identifying a destination facing path portion of a particular one way path traversing from a source node to a destination node within the wireless deterministic network. The destination facing portion includes a path traversing from the second node over one or more additional nodes to the destination node over which to forward packets received over a first portion of the particular one way path from the source node to the second node. The configuration information includes a particular time slot for the second node to receive packets being sent over the particular one way path. In one embodiment, the first node receives from the second node an acknowledgement message in the particular time slot that the destination facing portion of the particular one way path was configured and activated.
