1. A method for operating a first wireless access point, the method comprising:
performing wired communications over a first circuit connected to the first wireless access point, wherein the first circuit operates according to a first power phase;
performing wireless communications with a second wireless access point, wherein the second wireless access point is connected to a second circuit and is not connected to the first circuit, wherein the second circuit operates according to a second power phase different from the first power phase; and
providing wireless transport through the second wireless access point to bridge communications between the first circuit and the second circuit, wherein in bridging communications between the first and second circuits, the first wireless access point is configured to provide an alien bridge from a wired domain of the first circuit and a wireless domain of the second wireless access point, wherein providing wireless transport to bridge communications between the first and second circuits enables internetworking between the first and second power phases.
