Abstract

A method of allocating variable length network addresses in, for example, an ad hoc network comprises allocating an address of a first minimum length to a first node, determining whether the remaining nodes to be addressed can be done so using addresses of the same length and, if not, allocating addresses of a length one bit more than the first to those nodes. Using the method, the signalling overhead taken up by such addresses is minimised, and increasing numbers of devices can be accommodated.
