A control method of synchronizing communications between or among a
plurality of devices in a communication system includes detecting beacons
from the plurality of devices in the communication system, and
establishing a reservation for at least a portion of the plurality of
devices in the communication system. Each reservation is a frame interval
in which to transmit symbols from one device to one or more of the other
devices in the communications system. Each frame interval and intra-frame
interval is set according to the established reservation. Each frame
interval and intra-frame interval is a plural, integral number of symbol
periods in duration.
