Personal Area Network - A data communication network that
includes a coordinator and one or more routers/end devices.
The 16-bit address is used for compatibility and has an address of
0xFFFE
Broadcast transmission sent by a coordinator or router throughout
the network in attempt to establish a route to a destination node.
Unicast transmission sent back to the originator of the route request.
It is initiated by a node when it receives a route request packet and
its address matches the Destination Address in the route request
packet.
The process of establishing a route to a destination node when one
does not exist in the Routing Table. It is based on the AODV (Ad-hoc
On-demand Distance Vector routing) protocol.
An election takes place to resolve which node will function as the
network's sleep coordinator if multiple nodes nominate themselves
at the same time,
One direct host-to-host connection forming part of the route
between hosts
The 64-bit address assigned to a node after it has joined to another
node.
Nomination is the process where a node becomes a sleep coordina-
tor.
Broadcast transmission sent by a coordinator or router throughout
the network in attempt to establish a route to a destination node.
Unicast transmission sent back to the originator of the route request.
It is initiated by a node when it receives a route request packet and
its address matches the Destination Address in the route request
packet.
The process of establishing a route to a destination node when one
does not exist in the Routing Table. It is based on the AODV (Ad-hoc
On-demand Distance Vector routing) protocol.
Node used to send synch messages in a cyclic sleeping network.
A transmission used in a cyclic sleeping network to maintain syn-
chronization.
