METHOD FOR MANAGING THE TRANSFER OF INFORMATION PACKETS ACROSS A WIRELESS NETWORK AND ROUTING NODES IMPLEMENTING IT

摘要

According to the present invention, a wireless network comprises permanently powered routing nodes (AOR) and intermittently operating routing nodes (SR); a polling procedure is used for transferring routing and data information packets from a permanently powered routing node (AOR) to an intermittently operating routing node (SR). In particular, when said permanently powered routing node (AOR) has to transmit an information packet to said intermittently operating routing node (SR) it stores said information packet into a memory, it waits until said intermittently operating routing node (SR) is able to receive information packets and then it transmits said information packet to said intermittently operating routing node (SR), and when said intermittently operating routing node (SR) has to transmit an information packet to said permanently powered routing node (AOR) it transmits immediately said information packet to said permanently powered routing node (AOR).
