Abstract
A system and method for selecting a starting point to transmit a beacon (BTSP) from a coordinator and a first node in a communication system. The communication system includes the coordinator, a first node group with at least one node having the first node which receives the beacon from the coordinator, and a second node group with at least one node having a second node which receives the beacon from the first node. The coordinator determines a beacon window size for the beacon transmission, selects the BTSP within the beacon window size, and transmits at the BTSP, the beacon containing information on the beacon window size and the BTSP. The first node selects its BTSP within the beacon window size so as not to overlap with the BTSP of the received beacon.
