  • Method and apparatus for routing messages in a network of nodes with minimal resources
    Patent number: 5926101
    Abstract: A system that includes a multihop broadcast network of nodes that have a minimum of hardware resources, such as memory and processing power. The network is configured by gathering information concerning which nodes can communicate with each other using flooding with hop counts and parent routing protocols. A partitioned spanning tree is created and node addresses are assigned so that the address of a child node includes as its most significant bits the address of its parent. This allows the address of the node to be used to determine if the node is to process or resend the packet so that the node can make complete packet routing decisions using only its own address.
