ABSTRACT:
A process for merging and using the Mediation Device Protocol with a network layer protocol. Under the merged protocol, each device joining a network enters into two stages: the Set-Up Stage and the Normal Operational Stage. During the Set-Up Stage, the device identifies its neighbors, builds a neighborhood list, obtains a Logical ID, and picks a parent node in the network. After the Set-Up Stage is complete, the device enters the Normal Operational Stage where it will send/receive control and data messages, invite and help new nodes to join the network, recover from broken links or topology changes, and other normal network operations.
