CA 2285802
A method and apparatus are disclosed for dynamically determining a bus address that uniquely identifies a hardware component on a common bus. In 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.
