摘要
A method for reducing communications in a peer-to-peer wireless network having nodes includes sending an RTS-TOA ranging communication from a first node (N0) in a node group to another node (Nr, I) in the group, receiving the RTS-TOA communication with the second node (Nr, I) and sending a multi-cast CTS-TOA/RTS-TOA ranging communication from the second node (Nr, I) as a reply to the received RTS-TOA communication, and successively and sequentially repeating the multi-cast sending step for each of the nodes. A CTS-TOA message is a reply to the received RTS-TOA message and, simultaneously, is an RTS-TOA ranging communication to a new destination node (J). The method applies for a randomized communications approach when node identifications are not sequenced and to a sequential approach where nodes are sequenced, and also applies to completely connected and multi-hop networks. Also provided is a node for carrying out the method of the present invention.
