ABSTRACT:
A method of operating a wireless network with a base station and a plurality of outstations comprisingi. transmitting a broadcast signal from the base station;ii. monitoring operational status of outstations in the wireless network from an outstation,iii. collecting data representative of outstation status,iv. in response to reception of the broadcast signal, transmitting an acknowledgement signal from the outstation;wherein an outstation relaying an acknowledgement signal appends to the acknowledgement signal data representative of the collected data, andwherein the base station, upon receipt of an acknowledgement signal, retrieves the collected data and varies the rate at which signals are broadcast from the base station in accordance with the collected data.
