Abstract: Provided is a method for transmitting beacon timing information from a transmission node in a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) mesh network. In the method, each of a plurality of nodes transmits a beacon signal with its unique offset within a beacon signal transmission time period and the transmission node periodically transmits beacon timing information including a first unique offset within the beacon signal transmission time period. The transmission node sets a second offset different from the first offset and transmits probe beacon timing information including the first offset and the second offset.
