Abstract: This invention presents the serial arbitration method and system for rapidly and accurately identifying a station with the highest priority when a plurality of stations with different transmission rates are simultaneously requesting the use of a bus in a multi-point communication network where a plurality of communication stations share a common serial bus.This invention intends to improve the bus throughput by not only avoiding the collision of signals in a common serial bus, but also removing the possibility of arbitration failures when a plurality of contending stations have different transmission rates.For this purpose, a plurality of contending stations transmit modulated unique identity address serially in a form of self-clocking pulse on the OR-type single channel bus when the arbitration start signal is detected in multi-point networks.
