Abstract
Disclosed herein is a routing apparatus and method for configuring a LPWMN based on a channel hopping time-multiplexed wireless link. The routing apparatus of the present invention includes a control unit for setting up a channel hopping time-multiplexed wireless link with a gateway router, one or more routers, and one or more devices based on deterministic and synchronous multi-channel extension (DSME) media access control (MAC) link control (DSME MAC link control: DLC) sublayers and DSME MAC link network (DLN) sublayers. A communication unit transfers data frames to the gateway router, routers, and devices depending on connection quality of the channel hopping time-multiplexed wireless link.
