Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems for a Dynamic PHY-Level Collision Avoidance (DPLCA) based Ethernet network are disclosed. The Dynamic PHY-Level Collision Avoidance (DPLCA) Ethernet network includes an Ethernet bus comprising a shared cable, and a plurality of Ethernet nodes connectable to the Ethernet bus. Each of the Ethernet nodes is configured to autonomously select a unique node identifier, including the Ethernet node operating to transmit over the Ethernet bus either a special symbol or packet during a time slot designated for the unique node identifier, monitor any collisions with the transmitted special symbol or packet, and autonomously select the unique node identifier if no collision is detected.
