Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for automatically deciding system configuration information and assigning an address on a common bus. SOLUTION: Each cell station 100 includes a plurality of hardware components and a hardware controller 110, communicated on a common bus 115. An address space is logically divided into two ranges, that is, a 1st address range called a 'common access address' and a 2nd address range called an 'assignment address'. One address is reserved for a primary node to assign addresses, such as the hardware controller. Thus, each hardware component makes communication with the hardware controller having any of common access addresses to request a channel. When each hardware component receives an address assigned by the hardware controller, each hardware component makes communication, by using the assigned address after that. Collision which occurred among a plurality of the hardware components on the common access channels can be minimized through the assignment of a plurality of channels.

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