Abstract
The present invention relates to a Zigbee or other multi-hop network that can become a bottleneck for certain applications, e.g. entertainment streaming to (multiple) areas in the areas (e.g. at home) where hopping is needed. By locally utilizing an temporary gateway () being present right in a data-hungry area, the overall performance across the network can be improved. Using this temporary gateway (), (part of) the data can be routeddirectly to/from the destination/source nodes () thus freeing up capacity in the remainder of the network.
