Abstract:
A method of enabling at least some of plurality of nodes to join a wireless network, where each operates according to a wireless networking protocol and each is a component of a lighting system. An initiating unit wirelessly broadcasts a discovery request using a protocol of the network, according to which each other node only responds to the discovery request as broadcast from the initiating unit on condition of being within a predetermined range. Hence one or more in-range nodes each respond to the discovery request from the initiating unit and thereby join the network, while one or more out-of-range nodes do not respond. One or more of the in-range nodes also act as relaying nodes, to re-broadcast the discovery request for receipt by one or more of the out-of-range nodes. One or more of the out-of-range nodes respond to the re-broadcast discovery requests, thereby joining the wireless network.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 9 , wherein the respective relaying node is delegated a free address range allowed by the initiating unit; and when joining the responding node to the network, the respective relaying node assigns the responding node an address from within said free address range by which to be addressed within the network.
