Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4456061
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A network node selects a "sleep" level based on its current or projected battery capacity. In an embodiment of the invention, sleep levels define the types of communication to which the node in question will be a party and the physical radius within which the wireless network node will engage other devices. The node in question communicates its selected sleep level to the rest of the network so that the other network nodes can communicate accordingly with the node.
