  • Data-driven networking techniques
    Patent number: 12615229
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method of communicating on a shared medium is provided. A node computing device receives an incoming message via the shared medium and determines, based on the incoming message, whether the node computing device is the next computing device assigned to transmit on the shared medium. In response to determining that the node computing device is the next computing device assigned to transmit via the shared medium, the node computing device detects an end of the incoming message, and, in response, transmits an outgoing message via the shared medium. In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method of managing communication between node computing devices is provided. A maestro computing device transmits one or more configuration messages to establish a transmission order for the set of node computing devices to transmit messages on the shared medium, and transmits a start message that initiates the transmission order.
