Systems and methods of selective scanning for ad-hoc networks

摘要: Methods, devices, and computer program products for selective scanning of ad-hoc networks are described herein. In one aspect, a method includes receiving message identifying number times the has been forwarded. The further selectively other based on identified number. root device an network is responsible generating synchronization messages nodes network. count When hop reaches limit, no longer retransmitted or forwarded by nodes. Nodes this may recognize they positioned near edge at least embodiment, these scan reaching exceeding predetermined threshold.
