Method, apparatus, and computer program product for exchanging of information between wireless devices for joining

摘要

Method, apparatus, and computer program product example embodiments exchange information between wireless devices for joining. In example embodiments, a method comprises receiving wireless messages, each of the wireless messages including a first timing synchronization function value of a respective one of candidate beacon groups from which the wireless messages are sent; calculating a first difference between a selected target timing synchronization function value and a timing synchronization function value of the apparatus; receiving subsequent wireless messages, each of the subsequent wireless messages including a second timing synchronization function value of a respective one of the candidate beacon groups from which the subsequent wireless messages are sent; calculating second differences between the subsequently received second timing synchronization function values and the timing synchronization function value of the apparatus; and selecting a target beacon group for joining having a second difference within a predefined threshold from the first difference.
