A controller for controlling wireless command transmission to a robotic device is described. The controller is configured to obtain an action that is to be performed by a robotic device and to determine a quality of control, QoC, level that is associated with the action. The controller is further configured to trigger a setting of at least one transmission parameter for a wireless transmission of a command pertaining to the action. The transmission parameter setting is dependent on the QoC level determined for the action.

Technique for controlling wireless command transmission to a robotic device

A distributed network address allocation method is disclosed. For this purpose, an apparatus is provided for use as or in a node of the network. The apparatus comprises a portion () for maintaining a seed value n and a state value s. An address () of the node is determined from the seed value n by address setting portion (). A portion () is provided for receiving a request from a new node wishing to join the network and itself adapted to perform the method. A portion () is provided for generating a proposed seed value using the formula (n+2) and a proposed state value using the formula (s+1). A portion () is provided for offering the proposed seed and state values to the new node. A portion () is provided for updating the node's state value s to be the same as that accepted by the new node, if the proposed seed and state values are accepted by the new node. This provides unique address allocation to nodes in a Mobile Ad-Hoc Network.
