Abstract:
The present application relates to a system and a method for determining relative positions slave units along a stub bus with at least a power line and a ground line. Each slave unit is operable in different power modes, which are differentiated by effective resistances between the power and ground lines. A reference voltage potential drop is determined for each slave unit while the slave units are operating in a first power mode. A positioning voltage potential drop is determined for one or more slave units while a selected slave unit is operating in a second power mode. Relative positions of the slave units are determined based on the relative voltage potential drops obtained from the reference and positioning voltage potential drops.

Claim (Index 11):
A system comprising a plurality of slave units connected to a stub bus with a master unit, wherein the system is enabled to determine relative positions of plurality of slave units along the stub bus,\n wherein the stub bus comprises at least a power line and a ground line, wherein each slave unit configured to operate in different power modes, which are differentiated by effective resistances between the power line and the ground line, the system configured to: determine for each slave unit a reference voltage potential drop across the power line and the ground line while the slave units are operating in a first power mode; determine for each slave unit a positioning voltage potential drop across the power line and the ground line with regard to the one or more slave units while a selected slave units of the plurality of slave units is operating in a second power mode; and determine relative positions of the plurality of slave units based on relative voltage potential drops obtained from the reference voltage potential drops and the positioning voltage potential drops.
