    Abstract: A network manager is provided for delivering a firmware/software program to multi-mode nodes and single-mode nodes arranged in a multi-hop wireless IoT network. The network manager includes a transceiver configured to perform wireless communication by transmitting the encoded packets of the firmware/software program to the first-hop nodes. The network manager divides firmware/software program into source blocks, encodes the source blocks into encoded blocks based on coding scheme, packs the encoded blocks into encoded packets, transmits the encoded packets to the first-hop nodes. In this case, the first-hop nodes are configured to receive, decode, re-encode and re-transmit the encoded packets to propagate firmware/software distribution to the other-hop nodes. The network manager keeps broadcasting the encoded packets to the first-hop nodes until a predetermined percent of the first-hop nodes receive the firmware/software program.
