- an intermediate buffer node does not represent a node storing received data merely for transmitting the received data.
- the intermediate buffer node represents a node storing the received data for retransmission according to the retransmission request.
- the packet transmission in the sensor network may be performed through at least one intermediate buffer node.
- most sensor nodes 322 to 326 in the sensor network 320 may have functions of the intermediate buffer node 323 and 325.

- the intermediate buffer node receives the retransmission request signal NACK
- the intermediate buffer node retransmits the stored fragmented packet.
- the retransmission request signal NACK does not need to be directly transmitted to the sender node. Therefore, traffic and power consumption may be reduced due to a relatively short retransmission path, and the reliability may be enhanced.
- FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a packet transmission method according to an example embodiment of the present invention.
- data is fragmented in a sender node (step S401).
- the fragmentation may be performed when a transmission data unit of the sender node is larger than a transmission data unit of the sensor network.
- the transmission data may be transmitted within one packet.
- the fragmented packet may be transmitted to the receiver node through a plurality of sensor nodes (step S402).
- the fragmented packet may be transmitted through the intermediate node.
- the intermediate buffer node stores the fragmented packet in a storage area step (S403).
- the receiver node When the transmission of the fragmented packet is successful (step S404), the receiver node sends an acknowledgement signal ACK (step S410). When an error occurs during the transmission of the fragmented packet, the receiver node generates a retransmission request signal (step S405). When errors or packet losses occur in a plurality of packets, information about errors and packet losses about the plurality of packets may be included in one retransmission request signal NACK. Thus, even when errors or packet loss occurs in many packets, the number of transmissions may be reduced and power consumption and traffic also may be reduced.
- the retransmission request signal NACK may be transmitted to the receiver node or intermediate node (step S406) via a reversed path of transmission.
- the intermediate buffer node When the intermediate buffer node receives the retransmission request signal NACK, the intermediate buffer node checks whether a requested packet is stored in the storage area (step S407). When the requested packet is stored in the intermediate node, the intermediate buffer node retransmits the lost packet to the receiver node without transmitting the retransmission request signal to the sender node (step S408).
- the intermediate node transmits the retransmission request signal to another node located closer to the sender node (step S411). For example, the intermediate buffer node may transmit the retransmission request signal to another intermediate buffer node located closer to the sender node. The transmission of the retransmission request signal may be repeated until the retransmission request signal is transmitted to the sender node. Repeating the transmission of retransmission request signal is omitted in FlG. 4.
- the receiver node When the fragmented packet is transmitted to the receiver node successfully, the receiver node sends acknowledgement signal ACK to the intermediate buffer node or the sender node (step S409).
- the acknowledgement signal ACK also may be transmitted through the intermediate buffer node.
- the intermediate buffer node When the intermediate node receives the acknowledgement signal ACK, the intermediate buffer node deletes the stored packet to increase storage area (step S412).
- FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a transmission of a fragmented packet among a sender node, an intermediate node and receiver node.
- a sender and a receiver are divided into a plurality of layers according to functions.
- an adaptation layer fragments the data 502.
- the fragmented packet may be transmitted 503 to the intermediate buffer node by a MAC/PHY layer 504.
- the packet is generally transmitted through a plurality of sensor nodes.
- the intermediate buffer node receives the fragmented packet, the intermediate node stores the received packet in its temporary storage area and sends the received packet to the receiver node 505.
- the MAC/PHY layer receives the fragmented packet 506.
- the adaptation layer recombines the fragmented packet 507.
- the receiver node sends the retransmission request signal NACK and extends a waiting time 508.
- information about a plurality of packets having errors or being lost may be included in one retransmission request signal NACK
- the more than one packet may be retransmitted by one retransmission request signal NACK.
- the retransmission request signal may be transmitted 510 through the intermediate buffer node before the receiver node.
- the intermediate buffer node receives the retransmission request signal NACK, the intermediate buffer node checks whether or not the fragmented packet is stored in the storage area
- the intermediate buffer node When the requested packet is stored in the intermediate buffer node, the intermediate buffer node itself transmits the requested packet 512. Thus, a retransmission path may be shortened without sending a retransmission request signal to the sender node. Additionally, trafi ⁇ c and power consumption may be lowered by retransmitting only a requested packet rather than using a Go-Back-N method.
- a retransmitted packet is recombined with other packets arrived in the receiver node 514. Retransmission and recombination may be repeated until the recombination is completed.
- the intermediate buffer node transmits the retransmission request signal to another node.
- the other node may correspond to the sender node, a normal node or another intermediate buffer node.
- the receiver node sends an acknowledgement signal ACK to the intermediate buffer node or the sender node 516.
- the acknowledgement signal ACK also may be transmitted through the intermediate buffer node.
- the intermediate buffer node deletes the stored packet to increase storage area 517. Thereafter, the intermediate buffer node sends the acknowledgement signal ACK to the sender node 518.

- DST field representing an IP address of the receiver node

- FP field for a payload.
- an information table of the receiver node may include fields illustrated in FIG. 6, and additional fields including a SRC field representing an IP address of the sender node and a RV field representing whether data transmission is successful. Whether the transmission is successful is recognized by referring to the RV field.
- the RV field when the fragmented packet is transmitted successfully, the RV field may be set to T. When the fragmented packet is not transmitted successfully, the RV field may be set to O'.
- the receiver node After performing an AND operation on all RV fields of received packets, when the operation result corresponds to ' I ', the receiver node sends an acknowledgement signal to the intermediate node or the sender node because all packets arrive successfully at the receiver node. Then, fragmented packets are recombined to be transmitted to an upper layer and information on the table is deleted.

Abstract
La présente invention concerne un procédé de transmission de paquets dans un réseau radio basse puissance personnel 'LoWPAN' (Low-power Wireless Personal Area Network). En l'occurrence, on transmet un paquet fragmenté à un nœud intermédiaire depuis un nœud envoyeur, puis on range en mémoire le paquet fragmenté dans le nœud intermédiaire pour retransmettre le paquet fragmenté à un nœud récepteur quand une erreur se présente dans le paquet fragmenté ou que le paquet fragmenté est perdu pendant que le paquet fragmenté est transmis au nœud récepteur, et enfin on transmet au nœud récepteur le paquet fragmenté conservé en mémoire. Ce procédé et ce système de transmission de paquets permettent de réduire la consommation électrique et le trafic dans le réseau LoWPAN tout en améliorant la fiabilité de la transmission de paquets.
