The network system includes a network node and an end device. The network node is required to send a confirmation to the end device upon reception of a data packet of a first type and is not required to send a confirmation to the end device upon reception of a data packet of a second type. The method includes transmitting, by the end device, data packets of the first type in accordance with a duty cycle that is smaller than or equal to the first upper limit indicated by a first command packet received from the network node. The application further relates to a network node and an end device for use in a network system.
