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 15):
The distributed system of  claim 13 , further configured to send a (j+2) th  token of the plurality of tokens from the i th  node to a (j+2) th  node of the plurality of nodes in response to the j th  node not being active and i and j satisfying a set of conditions according to i\u2260N and j=i\u22121.
