  • Method and apparatus for propagating and maintaining update information
    Patent number: 10045274
    Abstract: The invention proposes an improvement to increase the speed at which a Trickle algorithm can propagate update information in a multi-hop network, while still controlling the number of redundant transmissions and ensuring scalability of the algorithm. It does this by intelligently adapting the size of a listen-only period (t1, t2), depending on the fact if a node has recently received an update or not.
