Abstract: A method of communication or transmission of data between a first and a second node in a wireless multi-hop network comprises bringing the first node and the second node in a fully operative mode for communication with each other and subsequently bringing the first node and the second node in a reduced operative mode where no communication with any other node is possible and, before bringing the second node in the fully operative mode, bringing the second node in a listening mode during a token listening period to check for presence of a wake-up token from the first node, and thereafter bringing the second node into the reduced operative mode if no wake-up token is received, and bringing the second node into the fully operative mode for reception of data from the first node if a wake-up token is received. This wake-up scheme is a kind of scheduled rendezvous scheme with collision avoidance, and may be called an induced wake-up scheme.
