Abstract
A time synchronised network comprising a plurality of nodes, the plurality of nodes each comprising a receiver, a transmitter, a controller and memory storing program instructions. The plurality of nodes are suitable for participating in time synchronised data re-transmission within the network. The plurality of nodes comprise a plurality of source nodes, a plurality of destination nodes and at least one intermediate node. The plurality of source nodes transmitting data concurrently with the other source nodes via the respective transmitter in a first flooding round to a plurality of corresponding destination nodes. The plurality of destination nodes receiving data via the respective receiver from a plurality of corresponding source nodes. The intermediate node receiving, via the respective receiver, data from at least one of the plurality of source nodes, and re-transmitting the received data in the form it was received using the transmitter.
