SOFTWARE-BASED PHYSICAL LAYER CONFIGURATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18323812 titled 'SOFTWARE-BASED PHYSICAL LAYER CONFIGURATION
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a software-based application that manages the physical layer (PHY) of a link. - The application uses an application programming interface (API) to send commands to the firmware of a media access controller or internal PHY hardware. - These commands are used to configure the physical layer of the link through the firmware. - The API abstracts the functions of the controller and/or PHY hardware, making it easier to configure the physical layer of the link. - The innovation allows for more efficient and streamlined management of the physical layer in a software-based manner.
Original Abstract Submitted
A software-based physical layer (PHY) management application is to configure a physical layer of a link through calls to an application programming interface (API) to send commands to firmware of a media access controller or internal PHY hardware of a platform. The commands to the firmware are to direct configuration of the physical layer of a link through the firmware, where the API abstracts functions of the controller and/or PHY hardware used to configure the physical layer of the link.
