Embodiments may relate to synchronizing nodes in a peer-to-peer network. A method comprises listening for a first multicast beacon during a duration of a discovery interval. The discovery interval comprises time intervals configured for a plurality of nodes in a squad. The method further comprises, in response to receiving the first multicast beacon during the duration of the discovery interval, transmitting a unicast synchronization request to a transmitter of the first multicast beacon. The unicast synchronization request comprises a node list. The method further comprises comparing the node list in the unicast synchronization request to a stored node list comprising node information for the squad, determining node information differences based on the comparison, and in response to determining the one or more node information differences, requesting node information from nodes associated with the node information differences and transmitting a second multicast beacon comprising the one or more node information differences.

Lightweight node synchronization protocol for ad-hoc peer-to-peer networking of on-body combat systems

A first node may transmit a first multicast beacon to one or more nodes of a squad that form a network. The first node may receive a unicast synchronize request from a second node of the squad. The unicast synchronize request initiates a synchronization process between the first node and the second node and includes a first node list of nodes in the squad. The first node may compare the first node list in the unicast synchronization request to a second node list stored by the first node. The first node may determine one or more node information differences based on the comparison. The first node may transmit a second multicast beacon with the one or more node information differences to the one or more nodes of the squad.

Synchronizing nodes in a network

Embodiments may relate to pruning a distributed database for a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. A node may transmit a first multicast beacon over the P2P network. The node may receive a unicast synchronization request in response to the first multicast beacon, the unicast synchronization request comprising a removed list for the distributed database. The node may compare the removed list to a locally stored node list to determine a node removal. The node may determine if there is a failure in a node information call made to a node relating to the node removal. The node may, subsequent to a determination of the failure, update the locally stored node list based on the node removal. The node may transmit a second multicast beacon comprising the node removal. Nodes receiving the second multicast beacon may update a locally stored removed list using the node removal.
