A method is provided for synchronizing a network coordinator with a remote device in a wireless network. First the remote device sends a request to the network coordinator that includes request parameters. Then the network coordinator sends a reply to the remote device that includes reply parameters. These reply parameters include a part of the request parameters to identify the remote device. The remote device then sends an acknowledgement to the network coordinator to indicate successful receipt of the reply. Finally, the network coordinator sends a beacon to the remote device that includes beacon parameters. The beacon parameters include at least a portion of the reply parameters to identify the remote device. In an alternate implementation, the acknowledgement from the remote device can be replaced with a second request having second request parameters that include at least a portion of the reply parameters.
