A network (100) includes a hub device (110) and at least one unattached peripheral device (120). The unattached peripheral device (120) transmits an attach request to the hub device (110) with a selected address, receives a new address from the hub device to identify the unattached peripheral device
A network (100) includes a hub device (110) and at least one unattached peripheral device (120). The unattached peripheral device (120) transmits an attach request to the hub device (110) with a selected address, receives a new address from the hub device to identify the unattached peripheral device (120), and communicates with the hub device (110) using the new address.

1. A hub device for use within a network, comprising: circuitry; anda transceiver in communication with the circuitry, the hub device configured to cause the transceiver to: send a signal associated with an availability of the hub device for peripheral device attachment,receive, from a first peripheral device, a first peripheral device message indicating an availability of the first peripheral device for communicating with the hub device,send, to the first peripheral device, a first peripheral device identifier during an attachment process,receive, from the first peripheral device, a first peripheral device response including the first peripheral device identifier,send a hub message to the first peripheral device including resource information and direction information associated with data transfer, andreceive, from the first peripheral device, a second peripheral device message including the first peripheral device identifier. 2. The hub device of claim 1, wherein the transceiver further includes instructions for: broadcasting a heartbeat signal to begin an attach cycle. 3. The hub device of claim 2, wherein the instructions for broadcasting include: broadcasting a new range of available identifiers with each heartbeat signal. 4. The hub device of claim 1, wherein the transceiver further includes instructions for: listening, for identifiers in a range of available identifiers, for a signal from the first peripheral device. 5. The hub device of claim 1, wherein the transceiver further includes instructions for: determining whether a transmission from first peripheral device was successful, anddetaching the first peripheral device when the transmission fails to be successful in a predetermined number of attempts. 6. A method for attaching a first peripheral device to a network having a hub device connected to a set of peripheral devices, the method, performed by the hub device, comprising: sending a signal associated with an availability of the hub device for peripheral device attachment;receiving, from the first peripheral device, a first peripheral device message indicating an availability of the first peripheral device for communicating with the hub device;sending, to the first peripheral device, a first peripheral device identifier during an attachment process;receiving, from the first peripheral device, a first peripheral device response including the first peripheral device identifier;sending a hub message to the first peripheral device including resource information and direction information associated with data transfer; andreceiving, from the first peripheral device, a second peripheral device message including the first peripheral device identifier. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising: broadcasting a range of available identifiers from which the first peripheral device selects to use when sending the first peripheral device message to the hub device. 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising: listening, for each of the identifiers in the range of available identifiers, for a signal from the first peripheral device;determining whether a transmission from the first peripheral device at one of the identifiers was successful; anddiscarding an attach attempt by the first peripheral device at the one identifier when the transmission fails to be successful in a predetermined number of attempts. 9. The method of claim 6, further comprising: attaching the first peripheral device to the network to create a newly attached peripheral device which communicates with the hub device. 10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions executable by a hub device to cause the hub device to perform a method for attaching a first peripheral device to a network, the method comprising: sending a signal associated with an availability of the hub device for peripheral device attachment;receiving, from a first peripheral device, a first peripheral device message indicating an availability of the first peripheral device for communicating with the hub device;sending to the first peripheral device, a first peripheral device identifier during an attachment process;receiving, from the first peripheral device, a first peripheral device response including the first peripheral device identifier;sending a hub message to the first peripheral device including resource information and direction information associated with data transfer; andreceiving, from the first peripheral device, a second peripheral device message including the first peripheral device identifier. 11. A peripheral device, comprising: a memory having instructions for: receiving a signal from a hub device in association with an availability of the hub device for peripheral device attachment to the hub device,transmitting to the hub device a first peripheral device message indicating an availability of the first peripheral device for communicating with the hub device,receiving a first peripheral device identifier from the hub device during an attachment process,sending to the hub device a first peripheral device response including the first peripheral device identifier,receiving from the hub device a hub message including resource information and direction information associated with data transfer, andsending a second peripheral device message including the first peripheral device identifier; anda processor that executes the instructions in the memory. 12. The node of claim 10, wherein the network includes a personal area network. 13. The node of claim 10, wherein the network includes a local area network. 14. The node of claim 10, wherein the network includes a world-wide network. 15. The node of claim 10, wherein the network includes a star-topology network. 16. The node of claim 10, wherein the resource information identifies a number of bytes. 17. The node of claim 10, wherein the resource information includes an appropriate empty data block. 18. The node of claim 10, wherein the direction includes a direction from the hub to the first peripheral device. 19. The node of claim 10, wherein the direction includes a direction from the first peripheral device to the hub.
