Abstract:
A network device receives a data packet sourced from a root of a tree-based topology and including a data structure identifying transmitted data packets transmitted by the root; in response to determining one or more absent transmitted data packets based on the data structure, the network device starts a deferred transmission timer requiring the network device to wait a first half of a selected minimum contention interval before attempting transmission to a parent at a randomized position within a second half of the selected minimum contention interval, the selected minimum contention interval based on the distance to the root and at least twice that of the parent; the network device selectively transmits a control message to the parent to request the absent transmitted data packets only if, upon reaching the corresponding randomized position of the deferred transmission timer, the network device has not received the absent transmitted data packets.

Claim (Index 10):
The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein:\n the device interface circuit is configured for receiving, via the tree-based topology, a second data packet including a second data structure identifying second transmitted data packets having been previously transmitted by the root network device; the processor circuit configured for updating the stored data structure in response to the second data packet; and the processor circuit configured for selectively halting the deferred transmission timer, causing terminating selective transmission of the control message, in response to determining the second data packet resolves any inconsistency between the stored data structure and the second data structure, the resolution in inconsistency indicating the one or more absent transmitted data packets has been received by the apparatus.
