Synchronization of interacting digital devices with the use of a signal relay center.

Methods of synchronizing interaction of the digital devices of distributed systems with the use of a common center relaying the signals from the devices were proposed. They are mostly intended to perform operations like 'all-to-all,' 'all-to-one,' and 'one-to-all.' The center substantially accelerates synchronization and improves efficiency of the communication facilities interconnecting the devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
