A device and method for of synchronizing a MAC superframe of a wireless
device is disclosed. The wireless device can be located within a chain of
a plurality of other wireless devices. The method includes receiving
beacons from at least one other device during a superframe of the
wireless device, determining a superframe offset for each of the other
wireless devices based on timing of the received beacons, determining a
corrective delay based on the superframe offsets, inserting the
corrective delay within a current superframe of the wireless device, and
inserting a predictive delay within the current superframe, the
predictive delay being determined by an estimate of a difference between
a frequency a clock of the wireless device and a frequency of a slowest
clock of the other wireless devices within the chain.
