of arbitration, nodes A, C, and D are all transmitting an “active 0” symbol, thus the idle state of the “passive 1” symbol is overruled in favor of the driven state of the “active 0” symbol.
Node C is the next node to discontinue transmitting when it attempts to take control of the bus by transmitting an “active 1” symbol. However, nodes A and D maintain control by continuing to drive the bus with an “active 0” symbol.
Finally, node D discontinues transmitting when its attempt to hold the bus in an idle state is over- ruled by the driven state of the “active 1” symbol on node A. Thus, node A is awarded arbitration.
The busline signal, detected on the bus by the receiver, reflects node A’s message, as this is the only node that did not experience contention.
