Abstract
To improve the efficiency and reliability of communication, such as for control commands distribution and data collection, in a large and high density wireless control system (), each one of a plurality of nodes in the system is assigned one out of three roles, a router node (), a non-router node (), or a data collector node (). A node () in the wireless control system () is capable to operate according to at least one of two communication protocols. A first communication protocol is capable to support mesh or tree network with multi-hop routing, while a second communication protocol is capable to support a star network with point-to-point connection. The router nodes build up a sparse multi-hop network to guarantee the connectivity of the large-scale network. Around each router node within one-hop direct link, a local star network is built up with at least one non-router node and at least one data collector node.
