Abstract
A network synchronization method designed to provide synchronization of multiple networks and devices. This invention provides a specific method for determining which nodes are responsible for network synchronization as nodes fail or cannot see each other due to conditions on the network. This allows for fault tolerance in a network in which conditions change dynamically. In addition, this invention uses synchronization codes and network numbers to isolate separate networks using the same physical medium, thus allowing sharing of network resources.
