STORAGE DEVICE AND SYSTEM OF CONTROLLING OPERATION THROUGH FLOW CONTROL MONITORING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17706137 titled 'STORAGE DEVICE AND SYSTEM OF CONTROLLING OPERATION THROUGH FLOW CONTROL MONITORING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that includes a transmission device and a reception device connected through a link. The reception device has a reception buffer to store transaction layer packets and a reception flow controller to generate flow control packets based on the occupation state of the reception buffer. The transmission device has a transmission buffer, a transmission flow controller, and a dynamic frequency controller. The transmission buffer stores pending transaction layer packets to be transferred to the reception device. The transmission flow controller controls the flow of transaction layer packets based on the flow control packets received from the reception device. The dynamic frequency controller adjusts the frequency of the transmission device's internal clock signal based on the state of the transmission buffer and the transmission flow controller.

  • The system includes a transmission device and a reception device connected through a link.
  • The reception device has a reception buffer to store transaction layer packets.
  • The reception flow controller generates flow control packets by monitoring the occupation state of the reception buffer.
  • The transmission device has a transmission buffer to store pending transaction layer packets.
  • The transmission flow controller controls the flow of transaction layer packets based on the flow control packets received from the reception device.
  • The dynamic frequency controller adjusts the frequency of the transmission device's internal clock signal based on the state of the transmission buffer and the transmission flow controller.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in communication systems, such as network routers or switches, to optimize the flow of data packets between devices.
  • It can be used in high-speed data transfer applications, such as video streaming or file sharing, to ensure efficient and reliable transmission.

Problems Solved

  • The system solves the problem of congestion in data transmission by monitoring the occupation state of the reception buffer and generating flow control packets to regulate the flow of data.
  • It addresses the issue of timing synchronization between the transmission and reception devices by adjusting the frequency of the internal clock signal based on the state of the transmission buffer and flow controller.

Benefits

  • The system improves the overall efficiency and reliability of data transmission by dynamically controlling the flow of packets based on the reception buffer's occupation state.
  • It ensures smooth and uninterrupted data transfer by adjusting the transmission device's internal clock signal frequency to maintain synchronization with the reception device.
  • The technology reduces the risk of data loss or corruption by effectively managing the flow of packets and preventing congestion.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system includes a transmission device and a reception device that are connected through a link. The reception device includes a reception buffer configured to receive and store transaction layer packets and a reception flow controller configured to generate flow control packets by monitoring an occupation state of the reception buffer. The transmission device includes a transmission buffer, a transmission flow controller and a dynamic frequency controller. The transmission buffer stores pending transaction layer packets to be transferred to the reception device. The transmission flow controller controls a flow of transaction layer packets to be transferred to the reception device based on the flow control packets received from the reception device. The dynamic frequency controller controls a frequency of an internal clock signal of the transmission device by monitoring a state of the transmission buffer and a state of the transmission flow controller.
