 U-Connect is an unified protocol to address both the symmetric and asymmetric asynchronous neighbor discovery problems.

+Consider a protocol in which a node picks a prime number ''p'' and stays active for ''1'' every ''p'' slots. Any two primes are by definition
 relatively prime with each other. Hence, two nodes choosing different primes will discover one another. If the nodes choose the same pair of
-primes, discovery can still be ensured by each node staying active for slightly longer than half the prime period '''p'''.

 transmission slots in this fashion, enables our implementation
 to spread the packet transmission over multiple slots, thereby enabling much lower slot sizes.
