Abstract
Implementations disclosed describe techniques and systems to facilitate efficient operations of wireless networks organized in a topology of communicating nodes. Techniques include cascade synchronization of various nodes of the network by generating and maintaining a common time using times associated with ordered communications between nodes. The common time maintained by the network allows performance of synchronous action for precise industrial, medical, and testing applications. The described techniques and systems further include management of communication windows between different nodes in a way that facilitates fast and efficient propagation of data collected by the network from multiple source nodes to one or more destination nodes. The techniques further include efficient assignment and flexible management of communication frequencies (channels) to various nodes of the network to reduce interference and noise by assigning different communication frequencies to the nodes that utilize concurrent communications windows.
