Abstract:
1. A method for synchronization in a Wireless Communication Network, comprising a network controller (NC) and a plurality of network elements (NEs), said method comprising: said NC creating a primary configurable synchronization frame; said NC transmitting said primary synchronization frame to said plurality of NEs; said plurality of NEs receiving said primary synchronization frame; said plurality of NEs transmitting an acknowledgement to said NC, on said NEs completing synchronization with said NC; said NC receiving said acknowledgements from said plurality of NEs; said NC checking if a first criterion has been satisfied; and said NC transmitting secondary synchronization frames till said first criterion is satisfied, wherein said secondary synchronization frame is of a reduced length as compared to length of said primary synchronization frame and has an increased frequency of transmission as compared to frequency of transmission of said primary synchronization frame.
