Zusammenfassung:	An arrangement of a mesh network comprising a first station, a second station and one or more intermediate stations is disclosed. The first, second and one or more intermediate stations are configured to comprise a sleep mode wherein the first, second and one or more intermediate stations are idle, and an awake mode wherein the first, second and one or more intermediate stations are awake. The first, second and one or more intermediate stations are further configured to be in the awake mode during a duration of a discovery window-DW-and a mesh management window-MMW-and wherein first, second and one or more intermediate stations are configured to listen for a synchronization beacon during the DW and to transmit and/or listen for zero or more mesh path hybrid wireless mesh protocol-HWMP-frames during the MMW. A method of the arrangement, as well as a first station, an intermediate station, a second station, a method for a first station, a method for an intermediate station and a method for a second station is also disclosed.
