Abstract
Apparatus, method, and computer program product for controlling network discovery of a wireless mesh network, wherein a modified implementation of the network discovery process is suggested. For a touchlink target device, it is sufficient to receive one of all scan request commands that a touchlink initiator node broadcasts for device discovery on a predetermined channel. It is thus enough for the touchlink target device to intermittently switch its receiver to the predetermined channel for a specific duration to receive at least one of those scan command commands.
