METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROL, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER-RETRIEVABLE MEDIA

摘要

A control apparatus adaptable suitably for a wireless network. A control node (2) holds a predetermined number of node IDs (bus IDs) with consideration for potential subscriber nodes (3-6) to be controlled. When a new node to be controlled enters the network, the control node provides an unused node ID for the new node. When a node leaves the network, on the other hand, the control node frees its ID as an unused one. When subscriber nodes enter or leave the network, the control node can easily keep the overall network operation under control, resulting in the elimination of the need for reconfiguration of the network.
