<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for scheduling the wake-up of a node and for adaptively setting a sleep period of the node in a synchronous multiple node adhoc network. <P>SOLUTION: The method is for a multiple node network. The method includes a process waking up at least one node from a sleep mode that is a low power consumption mode during at least one associated slot of a time-slotted frame. In at least one node of the multiple node network, a period that a node sleeps is based on the residual energy of the node, the residual energy of the node in a neighborhood, neighborhood node density and the combination thereof. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
