A METHOD OF DETERMINING LOCATION ADDRESSES OF NODE DEVICES IN A NETWORK OF NODE DEVICES AND SUCH A NODE DEVICE

摘要

A method of and a node device for determining location addresses of node devices (21, 22…26) of a network (10). The node devices (21, 22…26) are arranged along an elongated track (12) and geographically distanced from each other by an inter-node distance "d". Each node device (21, 22…26) comprises a short range communication interface (20). A node device (22) receives a message (27) from an immediate neighbouring node device (21) having a known location address comprised in the message (27). The receiving node device (21) determines its own location address based on the location address received in the message (27). The receiving node device (22) then may transmit a further message (28) comprising its determined location address to a further node device (23), allowing the further node device (23) to determine its location address as well.
