1. A communication network node comprising:
- at least one module comprising a processing circuit and a memory and being operable to, at least;
transmit a first beacon message in accordance with a defined beaconing strategy, wherein the defined beaconing strategy comprises transmitting beacon messages at a first rate;
receive context information comprising;
information identifying physical context, and information identifying communication condition context;
analyze the received context information;
redefine the beaconing strategy, based at least in part on the analyzed received context information, wherein the redefined beaconing strategy comprises transmitting beacon messages at a second rate different from the first rate; and
transmit a second beacon message in accordance with the redefined beaconing strategy,wherein the at least one module is operable to;
receive the information identifying physical context from a module on-board the node; and
receive the information identifying communication condition context from another network node.
