Abstract
A method of forwarding a received message in a mesh network comprising a plurality of communicatively interconnected mesh nodes, said method comprising the steps of receiving, by a mesh node of said plurality of interconnected mesh nodes, a message to be forwarded in said mesh network, determining, by said mesh node, that said message to be forwarded is to be unicasted to a particular neighbour mesh node of said mesh node, said particular neighbour mesh node being one hop away from said mesh node, and unicasting, by said mesh node, said message to be forwarded to said particular neighbour mesh node a plurality of times, wherein each time delay between subsequent unicasted messages is predetermined. A corresponding mesh node is also described herein.
