ABSTRACT:
A method of allocating communication resources among nodes in a network is provided. Communication among the nodes uses a time division multiple access protocol that includes a plurality of time slots. After identifying and synchronizing with a first communication node, a search algorithm is executed. The search algorithm allocates one or more time slot of the plurality of time slots to communicate control information with the identified first communication node and allocates the remaining time slots of the plurality of time slots to identification of a second communication node. Upon identification of and synchronization with the second communication node, a merged network is formed. Execution of the search algorithm continues until a desired confidence level is achieved. The confidence level estimates the likelihood that another communication node capable of communication with the network has not been identified. A communication algorithm utilizing otherwise wasted time slots is executed if the desired confidence level is achieved.
