Super-frame realignment mechanism to enable inter-wireless sensor network communications

A super-frame realignment system to enable inter-wireless network communications between an own network and a target network,

• wherein the own network and the target network each comprises a data channel (DCH) and beacon formats of the data channels of the own network and the target network are known,
• wherein the data channels of the own network and the target network are predetermined and each of the data channels of the own network and the target network comprises a beacon to be transmitted respectively, and
• an inter-beacon-interval (IBI) of the data channel (DCH) of the own network and an inter-beacon-interval (IBI) of the data channel (DCH) of the target network, respectively, each comprises an active period followed by an inactive period,
• wherein the system comprises
• a hardware controller configured to check whether the IBI of the data channel of the own network is of shorter or longer duration than the IBI of the data channel of the target network, and responsive to determining that the IBI of the data channel of the own network does not have exactly the same duration as the IBI of the data channel of the target network, the own network is configured to allocate its own inactive and/or active periods so that an integer multiple of its forthcoming IBI will correspond to the IBI of the target network, or the forthcoming IBI of the own network will correspond to an integer multiple of the IBI of the target network, and wherein the own network and the target network operate on different radio channels.
