Abstract
A wireless communication device configured to receive a first data packet identified as being of a broadcast packet type, the first packet comprising a first mesh network data packet that comprises a payload and a first lifetime value. A portion of the first packet may be compared against a record of mesh network data packets previously received by the device. If the record indicates that the first packet has not been previously received by the device and if the first lifetime value of the first packet is not equal to a predetermined threshold value, then form a second mesh network data packet that is unaltered from the first packet except that the first lifetime value is changed to indicate that the first packet has been received. The second packet may be transmitted within a second data packet that is identified as being of the broadcast packet type.
