Abstract :
Synchronization and beaconing attract much attention with the appearance of IEEE 802.11s Amendment draft specifying mesh networking based on IEEE 802.11 concepts. This paper discusses the drawbacks of using unsynchronized beaconing and focuses on beaconing of synchronized mesh points which adopt beaconing algorithm for IBSS networks with some modifications. We provide an analytical model of the beaconing process and prove its accuracy with simulation results.
