Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed to dynamically assign priorities to beacons sent from different networks to allow a device to selectively receive a beacon from one of the networks when a conflict occurs. When two or more beacons from different networks arrive at times that do not allow the client device to receive all of the beacons, one beacon may be selected for reception based upon a priority determination. An initial priority may be assigned to beacons from each network. Further, the initial priorities may be adjusted so that a more desirable rate of receiving the beacons may be achieved.
