Abstract
A physical layer collision avoidance (PLCA) device and a method for automatically determining a node identity for the PLCA device are provided. The method includes: generating a random number as identification information of the PLCA device, wherein the PLCA device maintains an identification information table and a device count; receiving a first synchronization packet, wherein the first synchronization packet includes first identification information of a first PLCA device; determining a first comparison result between the identification information of the PLCA device and the first identification information of the first PLCA device; updating the identification information table and the device count based on the first comparison result; sending a synchronization packet corresponding to the PLCA device based on the first comparison result; and determining the node identity of the PLCA device in a PLCA network based on the identification information table.
