Abstract
A logical function is executed in addressable units in a wireless local area network based upon the current state value of other units in the network. Depending upon a persistence setting which may be pre-set or programmed into each unit, the logical function may be recomputed at predetermined time intervals, or upon receiving an overriding resetting signal or control packet.
