using a tree-based mechanism with the base station as the root of the tree. The mote in<br />

the route to the root will relay a received status message to its parent one layer closer to<br />

the root, <strong>and</strong> wait <strong>for</strong> the acknowledgement from its parent. Unacknowledged messages<br />

are resent up to three times.<br />

Figure 9-7 Status report message structure.<br />

Network management activity<br />

The beacon message type is used to create the communication tree <strong>for</strong><br />

transmitting the status report messages from ballast actuators as well as the sensor<br />

messages from photosensors, <strong>and</strong> has the structure of Figure 9-8. The source ID field<br />

specifies the unique identification number of the mote that sends out the beacon<br />

message. The parent ID field contains the parent’s identification number of the mote.<br />

The cost field indicates the cost of using the transmission route, which is calculated<br />

from the link quality indicator (LQI) embedded in every received packet <strong>and</strong> the hop<br />

counts in the hop count field. The hop count field keeps track of how many of the same<br />

beacon message are relayed, <strong>and</strong> increases by one <strong>for</strong> each relay.<br />
