Abstract:
A standardized protocol defines that, when an initiator node is not already joined to a wireless network, and initiates a linking operation between the initiator node a second node, then this will create a new wireless network. According to the disclosure, a field of one of the standardized messages is adapted, and the adapted message is sent from the initiator node to the second node, in order to indicate that the adapted message is in fact a request for the initiator node to join an existing wireless network, to which the second node is already joined. The field in question is a field which the standardized protocol allows to be varied for application specific purposes. In response to the adapted message, the initiator receives back an invitation message inviting the initiator node to join the existing network; and in response to the invitation message, the initiator joins the existing network.

Claim (Index 12):
A device comprising\n a controller adapted to operate in accordance with a standardized ZigBee networking protocol whereby according to said protocol it is defined that, when an initiator node is a new node not already joined to a wireless network of said protocol, and when the initiator node initiates a linking operation comprising a standardized exchange of messages between the initiator node and a second node, then the linking operation will create a new wireless network of the initiator node which the second node joins; wherein the method comprises, instead of using a complete instance of said linking operation: wherein the device comprises a controller to determine whether the device is a new node is configured to not already joined to a wireless network of said protocol and being adapted to, upon determination that the device is a new node, instead of using a complete instance of said linking operation:\n adapt a field of one of said messages to form an adapted message, \n the device further comprising a transmitter for transmitting the adapted message to the second node, in order to indicate that the adapted message is in fact a request for the device being an initiator node to join an existing wireless network of said protocol, to which the second node is already joined, wherein said field is a field which the standardized protocol allows to be varied for application specific purposes;\n a receiver for receiving an invitation message inviting the initiator node to join the existing network in response to the adapted message; and \n in response to the invitation message, the device being the initiator node joining the existing network.
