METHOD FOR NODE ADDRESSING CONFLICT RESOLUTION IN "COMMON BUS" TOPOLOGY ASYNCHRONOUS NETWORKS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G06F12/08 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: method is carried out via network system-executed operations which include the following steps: a master device connected to a network initiates data communication and generates requests; sends the requests over the network to slave devices; the slave devices receive network responses, each slave device being connected to the network, having its own network address and configured to receive requests from the master device over the network; a first request is sent from the master device to a selected slave device and a response is sent without delay from the slave devices; a second request is sent from the master device to a selected slave device, said request containing an instruction which provides random delay of the response; a third request is sent from the master device to a selected slave device to change the network address. If a response to the third request from a different slave device is detected, the slave device does not change its network address, otherwise the slave device changes its network address and sends a response to the third request to the master device.

EFFECT: high reliability of detecting and resolving node addressing conflicts.
