The embodiments herein generally relate to distributed systems and more particularly, to association procedure in a large network. In this invention time is divided into different zones each for specific task such as to wake-up dormant devices, to synchronize unassociated devices, to transmit identity frame and then to associate with network coordinator device. In each time zone plurality of nodes perform the specific task simultaneously. This improves the power efficiency and speeds up the association procedure. This technique also improves neighboring table information, which enables better localization.
