1. A method of transmitting network communications, the method comprising:
- wirelessly transmitting a first repeating isochronous signal;
receiving a signal, wherein the received signal is a second repeating isochronous signal and the transmitted and received isochronous signals are each a data message signal;
identifying a transmission characteristic of the second repeating isochronous signal;
variably adjusting the isochronous phase of the first repeating isochronous signal based on a transmission characteristic of the received signal;
defining an activation window based on the identified transmission characteristic;
receiving the second repeating isochronous signal during the activation window; and
adjusting the activation window by detecting changes in the identified transmission characteristic of the second repeating isochronous signal.

Abstract
A network including a plurality of nodes each configured as transmitters, receivers, or transceivers. At least one of the nodes may be configured to wirelessly transmit a repeating isochronous signal for reception by one or more of the other nodes. The isochronous phase and/or frequency of the repeating isochronous transmission may be variably adjusted to reduce signal interference.
