Aggregated in-band interrupt based on responses from slave devices on a serial data bus line

Methods and apparatuses for aggregated IBIs are provided. The apparatus includes a host controller configured to communicate with at least one slave via a serial communication bus, trigger and receive a series of responses from the at least one slave via the serial communication bus, determine one response of the series of responses indicating an in-band interrupt (IBI) request, and respond to the IBI request based on a position of the one response among the series of responses.
