A terminal device obtains coding information that includes a first information bit and a second information bit. The terminal device selects, based on the first information bit, K groups from a codebook having L groups as activation groups, where both L and K are positive integers, and K is less than L. The terminal device then selects, based on the second information bit, a sequence from each of the activation groups as an activation sequence, and obtains a first sequence by superimposing the K activation sequences.

A data system is adapted to communicate for message arbitration in a first communication network based on physical arbitration of a second communication network. The first network includes a plurality of first nodes interconnected with corresponding second nodes of the second network. A message is received from a first node at a corresponding second node, the message including arbitration data of the first network. Based on the received message, data generating a message-frame at the second node follows. The message-frame includes a start preamble including a modified arbitration sequence of the first communication network and (upon successful arbitration) subsequently transmitting the message-frame over the second network is provided. The method ensures arbitration on one medium i.e. network when the original message arbitration is performed on a different, second medium. The networks or media are wired or wireless. Both technologies can benefit from the methodology.
