Abstract

A data transmitter is provided for transmitting data that makes it possible for nodes, relaying the preamble transmitted by a transmitter node, to also transmit data to a single destination node without, in turn, transmitting another preamble. In a network comprising a plurality of nodes that alternately observe sleeping and waking periods in an asynchronous manner relative to each other, a node receives a first preamble that is transmitted by at least one transmitter node. The first preamble comprises at least one first set of information related to transmission, by the transmitter node, of a first data set to a destination node. The adjacent node transmits a second data set to the destination node or to another node from the transmission of the first data set.
