wireless system synchronization

So I am planning a design for one of my classes that requires me to syncronize 3 devices wirelessly. I need to be able to sync 2 recievers and a transmitter so that they can run an algorithm (1 to encode and the other 2 to decode) the system according to a dynamic algorithm that modifies the signal dynamically, and so in order to be able to use the signal it must be converted back into usable data. As a result the algorithms must be syncronized.
I imagine that something along the lines of the method used to frequency hop used in military applications, or bluetooth would work. I have no idea how I can find out how to syncronize them so the algorithm starts simultaniously.
The only viable option I can think of is forcing the transmitter to output a specific output that is highly unlikely to be generated (ie 500 clock cycles high, 500 low, 500 high-- or something along those lines), and then at that point the algorithm will start).
Does anyone know how the systems are syncronized in some way that is more efficient?
It should be noted that I intend to use this design on simple ic boards, so I will be unable to use computers/internet etc...
if you want me to explain in detail the entire concept just let me know and I can try and outline it. The whole point of dynamic signal modification is in fact the point of the design.
