Abstract
A method for virtual end nodes indicates in routing information ( ) that the routing information is a “special access” to a virtual end node ( ). An RF network device then inserts the identity ( ) of the physical end node into user information ( ) and insert a filter field for selecting which virtual end node(s) are to respond to the user information ( ). An end node ( ) determines whether the user information is for it ( ), then the end node 41 responds to the RF network ( ), otherwise the end node 41 ignores the user information.
