摘要： Methods and apparatus are described which increase the probability and/or frequency that devices with comparatively faster clocks in a network than other devices in the network will transmit beacon signals are described. As a result, devices with faster clocks will tend to drive system synchronization to convergence faster than if all devices transmitted beacons at the same rate, thus facilitating more reliable maintenance of system synchronization since the devices with faster clocks will tend to transmit more frequently.
