摘要：A method and apparatus are disclosed for dynamically determining a busaddress that uniquely identifies a hardware component on a common bus. In an
illustrative cell station implementation, each cell station includes a hardware controllerthat communicates on a common bus with a plurality of hardware components. Theaddress space is logically divided into two ranges, namely, a first range of addressesreferred to as the common access addresses, and a second range of addresses referredto as the assigned addresses. One address is reserved for the primary node that isresponsible for assigning addresses, such as the hardware controller. Thus, each
hardware component communicates with the hardware controller on one of the commonaccess addresses to request a channel, and thereafter communicates on an assignedaddress, once assigned by the hardware controller. Collisions between multiple hardwarecomponents on the common access channels are minimized by assigning multiplechannels.
