    Research output: Patent

    Abstract

    Methods and systems are provided for controlling a first node in an ad hoc network including network nodes, at least some of which are asynchronous nodes having a dormancy period and a non-dormancy period. The method may include activating a non-dormant-state after a predetermined period of dormancy. The method may also include storing status information at the first node, said status information describing at least one condition of the first node. The method may also include receiving, during the non-dormant-state, status information about a second, non dormant node. The method may also include storing the received status information at the first node. The method may also include communicating the stored status information of the first node and the second node and reactivating the dormant-state.
