receiving beacon packets from the nearby SHs. MNs then send an association request at (CRT+4)
seconds to the candidate SH from which they received a beacon packet with the highest RSSI. SHs
then build sectorMembersList with the ID of MNs from which they receive the association request.
After this, the SHs trigger segmentation at (CRT+8) seconds. At (CRT+14) seconds, SHs send TDMA
scheduling to their MNs and calculate transmission slots. MNs, after receiving a TDMA scheduling
packet, calculate their slot of operation that refers to the time in seconds when an MN will transmit
a sensed ...
