Abstract

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may transmit a smart friend request message to a set of nodes in the wireless mesh network. The set of nodes may be associated with a friend feature that may include maintaining one or more element messages intended for the first node when the first node is in a low power state. Each of the one or more element messages intended for the first node may include an element address corresponding to an element at the first node. The smart friend request message may indicate a hierarchy of element addresses to maintain at the second node. The apparatus may operate in the low power state during which the second node maintains the one or more element messages for the first node based at least in part on the hierarchy of element addresses.
