ABSTRACT:
A method for hindering a first type of node from becoming an arbitration controller during a tree identification process is described. The method includes sending a first request from a first node to a second node. The response to the first request is delayed by establishing a parent-child relationship between a third node and the second node, the second and third nodes being the first type of node. A response is then sent, establishing the second node as the child of the first node. Afterward, the first node is designated as the bus arbitration controller.
