Abstract
A communication system includes first and second devices, where a processor of at least one of the first device and the second device is configured to establish a superframe having a superframe duration (T) and transmit a beacon by the first device during each of the superframe duration (T); scan by the second device all sectors (N) by scanning each sector for a superframe duration (T) and repeating a jump sequence. The jump sequence has a sequence duration (T) which is equal to a sum of a control duration (T) of a control channel and durations of data channels (KT). The processor is further configured to find the first device by the second device during a find time (T), where the control duration (T) is greater than the durations of data channels (KT).
