1. A device comprising:

  • a processor;

    a non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, if executed by the processor, cause the processor to;

    define a data sequence, the data sequence including a header portion and a payload portion, wherein the header portion includes an address code of a second device and the payload portion includes timing control information for communicating packets between devices in a communication network wherein the timing control information defines when the second device communicates, wherein the address code is a first active member address of the second device, and wherein the first active member address and a second active member address are assigned to the second device; and

    an antenna configured to transmit the defined data sequence in a data communication packet to the second device in a time defined contact slot.
