Abstract
A system and method include a wireless node with a scheduler and a harmonizing controller connected with the node. The harmonizing controller includes a processor and a memory, where the memory stores instructions, which when executed by the processor, causes the processor to receive a radio signal, process the radio signal to determine bits of the signal, and synchronize a wireless schedule of the scheduler with a schedule of other nodes based on the bits to perform neighborhood harmonization.
