A method for virtual end nodes indicates in routing information () that the data packet is for a 'special access' to an end node with a virtual address (). An RF network device then inserts the identity of the physical end node (virtual address) into user information (). If an access point () determines that the user information is for the virtual address (), then all virtual end nodesreceive the data packet and analyze the virtual end node identity from the user information ().

Method for RF network virtual end nodes

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.
