ABSTRACT:
A target device joins a wireless network by attempting to locate an existing routing device in a predefined neighborhood of the wireless network, designating the existing routing device as a master routing device if the existing routing device is located in the predefined neighborhood, where the master routing device is a primary recipient of data from the target device, and attempting to locate endpoint devices in the predefined neighborhood if the existing routing device is not located in the predefined neighborhood.
