A communications network ( 100 ) has coordinator devices ( 10 ) each transmitting a beacon message in a cluster area ( 30 ). Neighboring coordinator devices ( 1, 2 ) define overlap areas ( 60 ) in which each beacon message of the neighboring coordinator devices is present. Neighboring coordinator devices ( 1, 2 ) may also define non-overlap areas ( 204 ) in which each beacon message is present. A method for distributing communication signals includes providing nodes ( 50 ), ( 51,52 ) within a transmission region ( 30 ) of the coordinator devices ( 1, 2 ). The node ( 50 ) or nodes ( 51, 52 ) detect at least one beacon message of the neighboring coordinator devices ( 1, 2 ), determine the existence of a condition ( 302 ), and warn neighboring coordinator devices of the condition. The condition ( 302 ) is corrected by making an adjustment to the communication signal (such as beacon timing) by a correction amount ( 304 ).
