ABSTRACT:
During operation a node (500) that has associated with a network (100) will periodically broadcast a beacon (303) during a beacon interval as part of a superframe. The beacon will be periodically broadcast for a first period of time, based on a time it takes for nodes to associate with the network. After the first period of time has passed, the beacon will be switched off for a second period of time, after which, the beacon will again be periodically broadcast.
