Abstract
A method and device for detecting the ability of a neighbouring node to communicate by powerline on a frequency band and by a radio channel in a mesh communication network, wherein each node device sends packets on a frequency band and over the radio channel: generates and sends a frame including a field including primitives, one primitives indicating an address of the node device, another primitives indicating an address of a node device for which the frame does not include any address is intended, checks whether an enhanced beacon frame is received and if so: reads in the frame received an address of a node device for which the frame received is intended, checks whether the address read is identical to its address, identifies the node device that sent the enhanced beacon frame received as a neighbouring node able to communicate by powerline and by radio channel.
