DATA RATE INCREASE FOR FAULTY LANE RECOVERY IN MULTIPLE LANE DATA LINKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18081396 titled 'DATA RATE INCREASE FOR FAULTY LANE RECOVERY IN MULTIPLE LANE DATA LINKS

Simplified Explanation: The patent application discusses a method for recovering from lane failures in a data link with multiple lanes labeled in a sequence. When a lane fails, the system detects the failure, identifies working lanes, selects a set of contiguous working lanes, defines an operational link with these lanes, stores the start address of the operational link, and transmits data traffic on this link.

  • Detect failure of a lane in a data link
  • Identify working lanes
  • Select a set of contiguous working lanes
  • Define an operational link with the selected lanes
  • Store the start address of the operational link
  • Transmit data traffic on the operational link

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in high-speed data transmission systems, network infrastructure, and communication networks where the failure of individual lanes can impact overall data transmission.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the issue of recovering from lane failures in a data link efficiently and effectively, ensuring continuous data transmission despite individual lane failures.

Benefits: - Improved reliability in data transmission systems - Enhanced fault tolerance in communication networks - Seamless recovery from lane failures without disrupting data flow

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in telecommunications equipment, data centers, cloud computing infrastructure, and high-speed network switches to ensure uninterrupted data transmission and minimize downtime.

Prior Art: Readers can explore prior research on lane failure recovery mechanisms in data links, fault tolerance in communication networks, and high-speed data transmission technologies to understand the background of this innovation.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in fault tolerance mechanisms, data link recovery strategies, and network resilience technologies to enhance the performance and reliability of communication systems.

Questions about Lane Failure Recovery Technology: 1. How does this technology improve fault tolerance in data transmission systems? 2. What are the key factors to consider when selecting a set of contiguous working lanes in a data link recovery process?


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects relate to lane failure recovery for a data link having multiple lanes labeled in a contiguous sequence. In one aspect, a failure of a failed lane of the data link is detected. Working lanes of the data link are then detected. A set of contiguous working lanes of the data link are selected, and an operational link as including the selected set of contiguous working lanes is defined. A start address of the operational link is identified and stored in a configuration register. Data traffic is transmitted on the operational link.
