Abstract

A wireless network with a star topology has a first and second central node. The first central node starts up first and initiates the network. The second central node starts up second and synchronizes to the first central node, and wherein one node is in active mode and the other node is in standby mode, and a set of leaf nodes configured to communicate only with the active node.
