Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A communication device of a plurality of communication devices, the communication device comprising:
a clock;
a first transceiver coupled with an antenna;
a second transceiver coupled with a transducer;
a memory; and
at least one processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory that cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving at least one message from a second communication device of the plurality of communication devices over a preconfigured time duration;
determining a first local time of the clock of the communication device at which the at least one message from the second communication device is received;
determining a sync-time of the second communication device based on the at least one message from the second communication device;
mapping the sync-time of the second communication device to a second local time of the clock of the communication device based on the first local time, and the determined sync-time of the second communication device; and
adjusting a sync-time of the communication device based on the second local time,

wherein the sync-time of the communication device corresponds with a first configurable offset from a reference time, within which a first data is transmitted from the communication device to the plurality of communication devices, and
wherein the sync-time of the second communication device corresponds with a second configurable offset from the reference time, within which a second data is transmitted from the second communication device to the plurality of communication devices.
