A system and method for communicating on a network having multiple radios by substantially simultaneously transmitting a beacon signal from the radios. When a first radio receives a beacon signal from another radio, the first radio determines if the received beacon signal contains a priority designator. If the received beacon signal has a higher priority than that of the first radio, the first radio synchronizes subsequent transmission of its beacon signals to the other radio's beacon signal. In a network environment, radios may continuously adapt their beacon signals to transmit substantially simultaneously. Additionally, radios in a congested environment may coordinate beacon signals to minimize overhead use of bandwidth.

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de communiquer sur un réseau doté de plusieurs radios par la transmission sensiblement simultanée d'un signal de balise provenant des radios. Lorsqu'une première radio reçoit un signal de balise d'une autre radio, la première radio détermine si le signal de balise reçu contient un indicateur de priorité. Si le signal de balise a une priorité plus élevée que celle de la première radio, la première radio synchronise la transmission subséquente de ses signaux de balise avec l'autre signal de balise radio. Dans un environnement de réseau, les radios ont la possibilité d'adapter leurs signaux de balise pour transmettre de manière simultanée. En outre, les radios se trouvant dans un environnement encombré ont la possibilité de coordonner les signaux de balise pour minimiser l'utilisation aérienne de bande passante.
