A method of coordinating communication among three stations (A, B, C) on networks includes: (a) selecting one membership network for each station; (b) synchronizing the stations to a superframe (20) including a transmission slot (22), and a relay slot (26); (c) determining, for each station, which other station is a near neighbor and which other station is a far neighbor; and (d) broadcasting a message for the stations having a far neighbor sharing one of the membership networks by: (i) designating a near neighbor sharing the network with each broadcasting station and the far neighbor, as a relay station, (ii) transmitting the message on the shared network during each transmission slot, by the broadcasting station, (iii) receiving the message during one of the transmission slots, by the relay station, and (iv) transmitting the message on the shared network during each relay slot, by the relay station.
