Abstract: A method and an apparatus for setting a network node location. The method is applied in a router in a ZigBee network and includes acquiring, by the router, a network parameter of at least one network device in a network connecting to the router; calculating the number of network parameters meeting a predefined threshold condition; mapping the number of the network parameters meeting the predefined threshold condition to corresponding indication information, wherein the indication information indicates deployment performance of the router in the network; and providing the indication information for a user, wherein the indication information is used to instruct the user to set a location for the router in the network.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and apparatus for receiving fragments as well as a method and apparatus for transmitting fragments. The method for receiving fragments includes: receiving a group of fragments from a transmitter through a first channel, where the transmitter suspend transmitting a next group of fragments after the group of fragments is transmitted; and transmitting one or a plurality of first acknowledgement messages to the transmitter through the first channel immediately after the group of fragments are received. According to embodiments of the present invention, the acknowledgement messages may be immediately transmitted to the transmitter through a current channel after one group of fragments are received through the current channel, thereby avoiding the delay of a fragment receiving and transmitting process, which is caused by the competition and occupation of the channel by other nodes, and thus improving transmission efficiency.
