FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: control unit for a network node comprises the following: a phase adaptation module for adjustment of at least one working setting of the node based on the current phase of the network, wherein the current network phase is one of the many network phases containing at least one of the activation phase, educating phase, during which the node learns against its neighbors, and the operating phase; and a phase awareness module for processing received data packet based on the working setting, so that security holes in a specific phase of the network are limited to the appropriate phase in time.
EFFECT: improved security of data transfer in the network.
