A mesh point (115) receives (310,410) one of a beacon and probe response from an other mesh point; a state of whether the mesh point is already synchronized with one or more peers is set (325) to true and a beacon timing synchronization function (335) is performed when the mesh point is in the unsynchronized state and the other mesh point requests synchronization from a peer mesh point. The identity of the other mesh point is added to a database of beacon senders maintained by the mesh point and a beacon timing synchronization (460) performed when the mesh point and the other mesh point are both synchronized, and indications of whether the mesh point supports synchronization, requests synchronization from a peer mesh point, and is already synchronized with one or more peer are provided (235). |
