摘要： A self-organizing network characterized as having a number of nodes, with at least one control node of the nodes operable to control one or more of the formation, maintenance and message routing between nodes of the network, and operable to support the association, maintenance, deployment, and disassociation of one or more mobile nodes (MN) in the network (200, 300). The mobile nodes do not form part of the logical backbone of the network and thus may have a static address assigned to them to facilitate communications between regular, fixed nodes of the network and the mobile node in an efficient manner.

摘要： In order to discover neighboring nodes (203, 207, 208) within a particular piconet, a first node (206) determines a list of all nodes (205-207) within its piconet (201) and then transmits to each node within the piconet, a message requiring a response. Depending upon which nodes are heard from, a list is formulated by the first node comprising those nodes neighboring the first node. In order for neighboring nodes within other piconets to 'discover' the first node, the first node will also scan its environment to determine piconet identifications for other piconets, and then broadcast a 'discovery' message having a piconet identification of a neighboring piconet. In a similar manner, the first node will also scan its environment to determine discovery messages transmitted by other nodes, thus determining neighboring nodes outside its piconet.

摘要： An apparatus and method for a spanning tree network. A communication device (160, Fig.1) can connect to a piconet network (100) and the communication device can transmit at least one available piconet identifier prior to receiving a request for the available piconet identifier from a dependent communication device (180), the available piconet identifier providing a parent piconet coordinator identification for the dependent communication device. A dependent communication device can connect to the piconet network, determine if the communication device can support a dependent piconet, and receive at least one available piconet identifier prior to requesting information regarding establishing a dependent piconet, the available piconet identifier providing parent piconet identification for the communication device for the dependent piconet.

摘要： A network protocol for low-cost, low-power devices coupled to a self-organizing wireless network using a spanning tree backbone architecture is described. In this protocol, physical and logical network construction and maintenance operations, which supports efficient data routing in the network, are performed. The construction phase in conjunction with the maintenance phase insures the self-organizing capability of the network. At the same time, the maintenance operations provide a self-healing mechanism so that the network can recover from node failures and a self-updating mechanism so that the network can expand as more nodes enter the system. Also, the logical backbone hierarchy will facilitate multi-hop communication. The construction of a logical layered spanning tree backbone architecture from an underlying physical topology allows seamless data communication routing between all nodes in the network.
