Abstract:
1. A method of coordinating devices in a wireless network, the method comprising: receiving first capability data from a first device at a second device, the first capability data associated with a first type of power source in the first device and a first state of the power source of the first device; transmitting second capability data to the first device from the second device, the second capability data associated with a second type of power source in the second device and a second state of the power source of the second device; comparing the first capability data with the second capability data at the second device; if the comparison indicates the first capability data is less desirable than the second capability data, transmitting the second capability data to the first device from the second device; and if the comparison indicates the first capability data is more desirable than the second capability data, receiving the first capability data from the first device at the second device to determine a coordinator device to coordinate communications between the first device and the second device in a wireless network.
