Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is an improved implementation of a flood fill mesh network that utilizes low power and does not require any network addressing or routing protocol for network message delivery. Network messages are only communicated to a network node's correspondents using broadcast network messages over a wireless network. Network messages propagate throughout the network based on each correspondent node rebroadcasting received messages to its correspondent nodes, and so on. Coordinated synchronization across network nodes can be achieved by each network node broadcasting synchronization frames to its correspondents within a synchronization window time period and thereafter adjusting its own start time for the next synchronization period to converge synchronization. A guard band may also be utilized to account for any clock drift and signal path delays between any two communicating network nodes.
