      abstract     = {Synchronization stability in complex networks is a topic of
                      theoretical interest and practical importance. Increasing
                      effort has been devoted to the enhancement of
                      synchronizability of networks, or more specifically, the
                      design of synchronizable networks. However, most previous
                      attempts turn the coupling weight/gradient or change the
                      topological interactions, which sometimes is not manageable.
                      In this paper, by adopting a simple kind of discontinuous
                      coupling strategy: the uniform on-off coupling scheme, with
                      on-off period being comparable to the timescale of node
                      dynamics, the problem is solved within the framework of the
                      master stability function. The results show that, this
                      strategy can greatly increase the stable region of
                      synchronization, which means the size of synchronizable
                      networks can be much larger than the traditional case,
                      without any changes of their connections. Furthermore, the
                      synchronization speed can be accelerated considerably, which
                      is even higher than the previous optimal case. The mechanism
                      of the facilitation is revealed and shows that the
                      continuous coupling in fact is one of the worst choices for
                      synchronization in the view of discontinuous coupling
                      strategy. The coupling cost required for synchronization is
                      also examined, which is approximately the same as the
                      continuous coupling},
