Abstract

See full text

A slave communication device includes a memory and a processor for operation within a wireless mesh network of communication devices including a control communication device. The memory stores a virtual routing identifier assigned to the slave communication device in response to increasing range from the control communication device. The processor, in response to receiving an initiation message from a control communication device, initiates data collection from said slave communication device synchronized relative to the start of the initiation message frame by, cumulatively setting bits in a first acknowledgement message in response to content of a second acknowledgement message received from another slave communication device. The first acknowledgement message being synchronized with start of the initiation message frame and the processor initiates communication of the first acknowledgement message to a destination in a time slot selected in response to the assigned virtual routing identifier.
