Abstract
A method includes repeatedly sending, by a first device, sync beacons to a second device in a target network at a first frequency. The method also includes determining that the second device will use beacons received from an unrelated sync provider (USP) device for synchronization of a clock of the second device with the target network. The method further includes repeatedly sending the sync beacons to the second device at a second frequency that is less frequent than the first frequency. The second frequency is determined based on a maximum synchronization error tolerance of the target network.
