Abstract

The invention relates to the field of wireless mesh communication networks and in particular to methods, networks and nodes (101) for use in such a wireless mesh network (100) for establishing routes in the wireless mesh network (100) by pro-actively regularly sending many-to-one route requests at randomized intervals by wireless network nodes (101) that can operate as a proxy nodes for a mobile wireless device (104) communicating using a first wireless communication protocol and further nodes (102, 103) in the wireless mesh network (100) communicating using a second wireless communication protocol.
