Abstract
Systems and methods for dynamically assigning unique identifiers for devices on a bus using repurposed bits. Dynamically assigned unique identifiers can be dynamically assigned bus addresses. Exemplary methods do not require prior knowledge of the presence of devices on the network, accommodate networks with different numbers and types of devices, and allow for a node addresses as small as the number of devices on the network.
