Abstract
Various embodiments and techniques are described for discovery in a network, and for automatically discovering one or more nodes of the network. In an embodiment a discovery loop may be implemented to detect new nodes that may have been added to the network. The data transmission from the nodes may be paused, and undiscovered nodes may be requested to identify themselves. Each node that identifies itself may then be configured by, for example, having a time slot assigned for data transmission from the node. Separate time slots may be assigned to allow multiple nodes to transmit data over certain types of networks without colliding with each other. Data transmission from the nodes may then be resumed.
