Method and apparatus for node identifier assignment for shared communication mediums are provided. A node identifier (ID) is selected for communication via a network. A broadcast delay is determined, and a set of received messages received prior to expiration of the broadcast delay is evaluated to determine that none of the set of received messages comprise the node ID. In response to determining that none of the set of received messages comprises the node ID, a set of broadcast messages comprising the node ID is broadcasted. In response to determining, based on the set of broadcast messages, that the node ID is nonconflicting in the network, the node ID is used for one or more subsequent communications.
