Abstract

Various embodiments include methods for rotating a control node role among devices in a control cluster of a wireless mesh network. Methods may include assuming the control node role by a first device based on a control node assumption timing in a schedule, and transmitting periodic messages to support the wireless mesh network. Methods may further include using the schedule to identify a control node role end timing and a third device in the control cluster that will assume the control node role, transmitting the periodic messages while monitoring for an extended advertisement from the third device after the control node role end timing until the extended advertisement from the third device is received, and assuming a passive node role upon receiving the extended advertisement from the third device or continuing the control node role when no extended advertisement is received from the third device.
