Abstract

See full text

A communication method of the SMF type for a network of nodes including a multicast group. The method includes the steps, performed by a first node, of: determining a set of respective multipoint relays; determining the nodes for which the first node is a multipoint relay; determining a routing table including identifiers of destination nodes and corresponding identifiers of next-hop nodes; receiving a multicast packet sent from a sending node, where the first node is a multipoint relay; checking if, for each node identifier of the multicast group, the entry in the routing table that includes a destination node identifier corresponding to the node identifier of the multicast group contains a next-hop node identifier that corresponds to the sending node, and if the counter contained in the multicast packet respects a relation with a limit; and determining whether to retransmit the multicast packet, on the basis of the outcome of the checking step.
