Abstract
A method and system for providing configuration parameters to TDMA nodes are disclosed. The configuration parameters are repeatedly transmitted to the TDMA nodes in a predetermined fashion, allowing existing nodes to receive the up-to-date configuration parameters from messages being broadcast in the TDMA network. Any new node joining the TDMA network may also receive the up-to-date configuration parameters, allowing the new node to apply such parameters accordingly and join the network as applicable.
