Abstract:
A method for controlling a distributed system. The distributed system includes a plurality of nodes and a bus. The plurality of nodes is associated with a plurality of timers. The method includes assigning a plurality of timer values including a first timer value and a second timer value to the plurality of timers in response to no data being loaded on the bus, defining an initial timer value equal to the first timer value, counting down the plurality of timer values with a given rate by activating the plurality of timers, stopping counting down the plurality of timer values in response to the first timer value reaching zero by stopping the plurality of timers, replacing the first timer value with a reference value, and sending data from the first node to the bus. The first timer value is assigned to a first timer of the plurality of timers, and the second timer value is assigned to a second timer of the plurality of timers. The first timer is associated with a first node of the plurality of nodes and the second timer is associated with a second node of the plurality of nodes. The first timer value is the smallest timer value among the plurality of timer values, and the second timer value is the largest timer value among the plurality of timer values. The reference value is smaller than the initial timer value and is larger than the second timer value.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising repeating an iterative process, the iterative process including:\n counting down the plurality of timer values with the given rate by activating the plurality of timers in response to no data being loaded on the bus; stopping counting down the plurality of timer values by stopping the plurality of timers in response to any of the plurality of timer values reaching zero; selecting a third timer value of the plurality of timer values, the third timer value being equal to zero, the third timer value associated with a third timer of the plurality of timers, the third timer associated with a third node of the plurality of nodes; replacing the third timer value with the reference value; and sending data from the third node to the bus.
