Abstract
The invention provides a method and apparatus for managing end nodes of a Low-Power Wide Area Network. A mode change command indicating a desire to switch the operating mode of each of a plurality of end nodes is broadcast. A determination is made as to whether all the end nodes have switched mode to match the desired operating mode, and the mode change command is rebroadcast if it is determined that not all end nodes have appropriately switched mode.
