Logic to manage synch frame transmissions in a synch network via helper stations (STAs) synched to the network. Logic may coordinate actions of helper STAs via a transmission window (TW) provided by a master clock STA. Logic may distribute synch frame transmissions within a TW via synch logic in the helper STAs. Logic in helper STAs of a synch network may determine discovery periods in which to transmit synch frames between synch frame transmissions by the master clock STA. Logic in helper STAs to determine a discovery period in which to transmit synch frames to share workload with the master clock STA and to extend the coverage area of the synch network. Logic of the master clock STA may establish a fixed TW based upon the number of helper STAs and a time constraint for discovering the synch network. Or logic of the master clock STA may establish a dynamic TW in which the master clock STA can adjust the TW based upon a number of synch frame transmissions during a TW.
