Abstract
The invention concerns a wireless communication network that is particularly innovative and robust when said the network, comprising a plurality of nodes, has a dynamic topology. A method implemented by a communicating electronic device acting as a free node of said the network can request, on demand, a procedure for affiliation with a second device that is a member of a cluster. Affiliated with the cluster, a device implementing the method can communicate with a third device acting as cluster head in the same way as a member of the cluster. Such an invention makes it possible, in particular, to operate a traceability system for containers cooperating respectively with such devices on a storage area or a transport platform.
