Abstract

A method for performing wireless communication in a network by at least one of a plurality of network nodes, the network including a network coordinator, the plurality of network nodes, and a plurality of subscriber stations. The method includes sending, by at least one of the plurality of network nodes, delay data to at least one of the network coordinator or one or more upstream network nodes. The delay data includes a network node delay data associated with the at least one of the plurality of network nodes, and the one or more upstream network nodes include any of the plurality of network nodes located along an upstream transmission path between the at least one network node and the network coordinator. In addition, the method includes receiving, from at least one of the network coordinator or the one or more upstream network nodes, target delay data, and receiving, from at least one of the network coordinator or the one or more upstream network nodes, a message. Further, the method includes transmitting, at a target transmission time, the message to one or more of the plurality of subscriber stations. The target delay data is based on the delay data, and the target transmissio…
