This invention relates to the field of communication technology, specifically to a
collision detection method and related equipment for ultra-short-range
shared medium networks. The method includes: a master node
broadcasting downlink messages on a downlink channel, and slave nodes sending uplink messages within a shared uplink contention window; each slave node starting an acknowledgment response
timer for each sent uplink message and waiting to receive an acknowledgment message from the master node; the master node performing
frame check sequence verification on the received uplink messages, and if a
verification error is found, sending a
verification error
alarm message to the slave node at the corresponding
source address; the slave node determining a serious collision when the acknowledgment response
timer expires, or determining a collision event when it receives a verification error
alarm message; and the slave node executing a backoff strategy based on the
collision detection results. This invention enables efficient and reliable
collision detection without adding additional hardware receivers, reducing
system costs and design complexity, and is suitable for ultra-short-range scenarios such as intra-
robot communication.
