A wireless, peer-to-peer, capability addressable network ( ) is disclosed. The network ( ) accommodates any number of peers ( ). Network connections are formed based upon proximity between peers ( ) and upon a needs and capabilities evaluation ( ). Wireless communications occur at a sufficiently low power to form a detection zone ( ) of less than about five meters for many peers ( ).

Capability addressable network and method therefor

A method for virtual end nodes indicates in routing information ( ) that the routing information is a &ldquo;special access&rdquo; to a virtual end node ( ). An RF network device then inserts the identity ( ) of the physical end node into user information ( ) and insert a filter field for selecting which virtual end node(s) are to respond to the user information ( ). An end node ( ) determines whether the user information is for it ( ), then the end node 41 responds to the RF network ( ), otherwise the end node 41 ignores the user information.

Method for selecting virtual end nodes in an RF network

A method for bonding (,) to a device (,). The method includes a step of transmitting a beacon message (,). The method also includes steps of (i) selecting a beacon opcode (,), (ii) selecting an identifier (,), (iii) selecting an identifier type (,), (iii) selecting an identifier address (,), composing the beacon opcode (,), the identifier (,), the identifier type (,) and the identifier address (,) into the beacon message (,). The method also includes a step of receiving, in response to the transmitting step, a make bond message (,).
