User adoption of the WLAN and telephone services is often predicated on some level of assurance that communications aren't easily lifted. LMP provides the basic services that ensure these services are well controlled. A number of services may be used to synchronize the clocks in the various piconet stations. This function lets a master station retrieve a slave's clock offset, which is used to control the slave station's link entry. If the master retains this information, it can expedite future paging of a station once it has departed from the piconet.
Slot offset information.
This is a unidirectional service, in which an initiating station can transmit a message that helps describe timing differences between two adjacent piconets. Timing accuracy information request. This is a mechanism that can be used by a station to retrieve the accuracy parameters of another station's timing subsystem. Retrieved parameters include long-term clock drift and the amount of clock jitter inherent in the responding device's timing subsystem. This request can query the capabilities of remote stations.
