Abstract
A system for wireless communication in a network includes: a resource-restricted device transmitting a data frame to be forwarded to a destination device in the network, wherein the data frame includes a source identifier of the resource-restricted device, wherein the source identifier is not a valid network address for the network; a proxy device receiving the data frame from the resource-restricted device, deriving a network address for the resource-restricted device as a function of the source identifier of the resource-restricted device, and constructing, from the data frame, a packet to be forwarded to at least the destination device. Constructing the packet involves: including, in the packet, data from the data frame, and including, in the packet, the derived network address for the resource-restricted device as a source address for the packet. The proxy device associates a delay to the packet, and schedules transmission of the packet after the delay.
