Original Abstract Submitted

A method and apparatus for transmitting data based on peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) are disclosed. The method includes receiving, at an endpoint (EP), a doorbell (DB) message transmitted from a root complex (RC) via a PCIe connection between the endpoint (EP) and the RC; based on the DB message, transmitting, by polling of a processor of the EP, a read request message to a direct memory access (DMA) controller of the EP; and in response to reception of the read request message by the DMA controller, reading, by the DMA controller, data to be transmitted from a memory of the RC and recording read data into a memory of the EP.
