The present invention relates to a method for confirming the delivery of a data packet in a mesh network (100) by sending an acknowledgement to an ingress mesh point (104-4). A mesh network (100) comprises a plurality of mesh points (104) that are wirelessly linked together. A data packet sent by a station is received by an ingress mesh point (104-4). A MAC frame (200) is generated for transmission of the data packet and the frame is forwarded to an egress mesh point (104-2) in order to provide a service by the mesh network. The MAC frame (200) includes a field comprising an ingress mesh point address (206) and an egress mesh point (208) address. When the egress mesh point (104- 2), receives a data packet successfully, the egress mesh point (104-2) or the intermediate mesh point (104-5) sends an ACK to the ingress mesh point (104-4) or preceding mesh point.

L'invention porte sur un procédé qui permet de confirmer la distribution d'un paquet de données dans un réseau maillé en envoyant un accusé de réception ("acknowledgement" ou ACK) à un point de maillage d'entrée ("ingress mesh point" ou IMP). Un réseau maillé comprend une pluralité de points de maillage qui sont reliés sans fil entre eux. Un paquet de données envoyé par une station (STA) est reçu par un point IMP. Une trame MAC est générée pour assurer la transmission du paquet de données et la trame est acheminée vers un point de maillage de sortie ("egress mesh point" ou EMP) afin de fournir un service de réseau maillé. La trame MAC comprend un champ qui renferme une adresse IMP et une adresse EMP.Lorsque le point EMP (ou, facultativement, un point de maillage intermédiaire) reçoit avec succès un paquet de données, le point EMP ou le point de maillage intermédiaire envoie un accusé de réception au point IMP ou au point de maillage qui le précède.
