Abstract
Various embodiments relate to a wired local area network (WLAN) including a shared transmission medium (e.g., a 10SPE network). A method may include detecting an event in a WLAN including physical level collision avoidance (PLCA). The method may also include disabling a beacon of a first node operating as a master of the WLAN in response to the event. Further, the method may include enabling a second node to operate as the master of the WLAN.
