Abstract: A hybrid device can be configured to execute operations to select singleton coordinating functionality in a hybrid communication network. In one embodiment, a single master device (e.g., a hybrid device configured as both a registrar and a central access point (CAP)) can be selected. The hybrid device can transmit search messages to detect an existing master device and/or to identify other hybrid devices contending to become the master device. The hybrid device with the preferred device identifier is selected as the master device. In another embodiment, operations for selecting the coordinating functionality are split into two independent stages—a CAP selection stage and a registrar selection stage. In the CAP selection stage, the hybrid device with a preferred device weight (or a preferred device weight and a preferred device identifier) is configured as the CAP. In the registrar selection stage, similar operations can be executed to select the registrar.

Abstract translation: 可以将混合设备配置为执行在混合通信网络中选择单例协调功能的操作。 在一个实施例中，可以选择单个主设备（例如，配置为注册器和中央接入点（CAP）的混合设备）。 混合设备可以发送搜索消息以检测现有的主设备和/或识别竞争成为主设备的其他混合设备。 选择具有优选设备标识符的混合设备作为主设备。 在另一个实施例中，用于选择协调功能的操作被分为两个独立的阶段，即CAP选择阶段和注册器选择阶段。 在CAP选择阶段，将具有优选设备权重（或优选设备权重和优选设备标识符）的混合设备配置为CAP。 在注册器选择阶段，可以执行类似的操作来选择注册商。
