Abstract
A method for wireless communication in a network comprising a resource-restricted device (ZGPD), at least two proxy devices (ZP, ZP) and at least one destination device (DD), wherein the method comprises the following steps: the resource-restriced device transmitting a frame to be forwarded to a destination device in the network, said frame containing a unique source identifier of the resource-restricted device, at least one proxy device receiving the frame and identifying the frame as originating from a resource-restricted device, —the proxy device determining the unique source identifier and deriving a group identifier as a known function of the unique source identifier, the group identifier designating a group of devices in the network or a source address, the proxy constructing, from the frame, an appropriate packet to be forwarded, the proxy forwarding the packet by taking into account the group identifier.
