FIELD: physics, communications.
SUBSTANCE: multiple nodes communicate via repeated superframe configurations, with each superframe including radio beacon signal period. In the first media access time interval (MATI) multiple nodes make reservation for time interval of radio beacon signals. This reserved time interval is placed in the beginning of radio beacon signal period and used to convey information concerning superframe configuration. The information can include adjustment of MATI number reserved for radio beacon signal transmission.
EFFECT: increased bandwidth.
