Abstract:
A method is used by a mesh point that includes one or more step of receiving one of a beacon and probe response from an other mesh point; setting a state of whether the mesh point is already synchronized with one or more peers to true and performing a beacon timing synchronization function when the mesh point is in the unsynchronized state and the other mesh point requests synchronization from a peer mesh point; adding an identity of the other mesh point to a database of beacon senders maintained by the mesh point and performing a beacon timing synchronization function when the mesh point and the other mesh point are both synchronized; and providing indications of whether the mesh point supports synchronization, requests synchronization from a peer mesh point, and is already synchronized with one or more peer.
