Abstract
A method in a node of a mesh network comprises receiving a plurality of neighbor count values, each neighbor count value relating to the number of neighbors associated with a particular neighbor of the node, and controlling the transmission of a beacon message based on the received neighbor count values. The method in a node of a mesh network may comprise determining a neighbor count value, the neighbor count value comprising the number of neighbor nodes associated with the node, and distributing the neighbor count value to the neighbor nodes of the node.
