A method for establishing timing and processing of network messages in a wireless ad-hoc network comprising: establishing a network identification (ID) when the wireless ad-hoc network is unestablished; and establishing a local timing in the wireless ad-hoc network, the local timing having a network data frame structure, each network data frame in the network data frame structure having a plurality of network slot times, wherein each network slot time is designated as one of an assigned network slot time or a shared network slot time, each wireless node in the wireless ad-hoc network designated as one of an assigned wireless node or an unassigned wireless node, each assigned wireless node initiating and transmitting network messages in a corresponding assigned network slot time or any available shared network slot time, and each unassigned wireless node initiating and transmitting network messages only in any available shared network slot time.

Mesh ranging and network message and slot structure for ad-hoc networks and method therefor

A method for synchronization and time transfer in a wireless system having a single timing source comprises: transmitting a timing message from a coordinator node, wherein the coordinator node is coupled to the single timing source of the wireless system; detecting the timing message by a wireless node; and synchronizing the wireless node to a time on the timing message.
