ii. Repeater 2 does not accept it, since it has been already received before (1.2).

b) Repeater 2 sends the packet.

i. Repeaters 3 does not accept it, since it has been already received before

(1.3).

ii. Sender 1 does not accept it, since its address is wrong (unequal 5).

iii. Repeater 4 receives and accepts the packet.

3. Repeater 4 delays and sends the packet.

a) Sender 6 and 7 do not accept it, since their addresses are wrong (unequal 5).

b) Repeater 2 does not accept it, since it has been already received before (1.2).

c) Receiver 5 accepts it and its successfully delivered (address equals 5).

Note that the packet forwarded by repeater 2 and 3 would collide in the frequency channel,

if they wouldn’t be randomly delayed (see

RP_NumSlots

13.2.1 Application in parallel networks

As described above, a repeater device forwards all packets that are received before. If

a network needs to have a bigger throughput of data, a parallel network can be set up,

that relaxes the stress of the primal network. To do so, all sending, receiving and repeater

devices of the parallel network are conﬁgured to use a new non-overlapping channel, such

that the primal network is not affected at all by the trafﬁc of the parallel network. All nodes in

the networks shall not be closer to each other than 2 meters, if that connot be avoided the tx

power parameter of devices close to each other must be reduced.
