METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FORMING A BEAM DISTRIBUTED IN WIRELESS NODE NETWORKS, AND WIRELESS NODE THAT CAN BE USED IN SUCH A SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a method and system for forming a beam distributed in wireless node networks, and to a wireless node that can be used in such a system. The method includes: broadcasting a beacon signal to certain network wireless nodes from a base station; performing synchronization stages that include exchanges between certain respective time reference signals between network nodes; determining that a node has become inoperative if the successive node thereof has not received the respective time reference signal therefrom after a predetermined time, and thereafter sending the respective time reference signal thereof to the following node via said successive node; and each node synchronously sending the respective signal containing a common message in a distributed manner to said base station. The system is intended to implement the method and the node is intended to form part of the system.
