Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems for generating a plurality of network addresses for a plurality of communication devices communicating over a network. One method includes receiving, with an electronic processor included in a server, geographical coordinates of the network, generating, with the electronic processor, a first set of bits based on the geographical coordinates, generating, with the electronic processor, a second set of bits based on a random number, and generating, with the electronic processor, a baseline address including the first set of bits and the second set of bits. The method also includes generating the plurality of network addresses, wherein each of the plurality of network addresses includes the baseline address and a unique offset. In addition, the method includes assigning one of the plurality of network addresses to one of the plurality of communication devices.
