ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for providing masterless collision detection in a communication network includes a distinct data transmission bus and distinct collision detection reference bus. A voltage on the reference bus is monitored by each element to ascertain the existence of a change in the voltage which results in either the enabling or disabling of data transmission on the transmission bus by that element.
