  • Method and system of synchronization in dual-beacon wireless networks
    Patent number: 8989803
    Abstract: A wireless device (320) receives at least one beacon (325) of a first type (“Type-A beacon”), and synchronizes itself based on the timing of the Type-A beacon(s). Whenever the wireless device (320) synchronizes itself to the timing of a second wireless device (310) that is unable to receive Type-A beacons, then the wireless device (320) marks itself as a forced synchronization device and transmits Type-A beacons (325) that indicate that the first wireless device (320) is operating as a forced synchronization device. Whenever the wireless device (320) is marked as a forced synchronization device and receives a Type-A beacon (325) from a third alien wireless device (320) that is also marked as a forced synchronization device, but is synchronized to a fourth wireless devices (310) that is unable to receive Type-A beacons, then at least one of the first and third wireless devices (320) switches to a new channel.
