  • Method for selecting virtual end nodes in an RF network
    Patent number: 6363070
    Abstract: A method for virtual end nodes indicates in routing information (51) that the routing information is a “special access” to a virtual end node (60). An RF network device then inserts the identity (52) of the physical end node into user information (62) and insert a filter field for selecting which virtual end node(s) are to respond to the user information (63). An end node (41) determines whether the user information is for it (69-72), then the end node 41 responds to the RF network (75), otherwise the end node 41 ignores the user information.
