Abstract
One embodiment of the present disclosure sets forth a technique for resolving beaconing conflicts within a network. The technique includes detecting, by a first node in a network, a first scheduling conflict between a first time when a first beacon is to be transmitted from the first node and a first listening window when a second beacon is expected to be received from a second node in the network; determining, by the first node in response to detecting the first scheduling conflict and based on an expected transmission time for the second beacon and a position of the second node in the network, an alternate listening window during which to listen for a third beacon from the second node; and listening, by the first node, for the third beacon from the second node during the alternate listening window.
