EXTENDED LINK-TRAINING TIME NEGOTIATED ON LINK START-UP - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18618892 titled 'EXTENDED LINK-TRAINING TIME NEGOTIATED ON LINK START-UP
The patent application relates to link training between network connected devices.
- Receiver in a first device determines an amount to extend link training based on signals indicating capability to extend link training time from a transmitter in a second device.
- The first device determines a link training time based on a default time and the amount to extend link training time.
- Link training is then performed based on the determined link training time.
- The determined amount is the highest common denominator of the received identified capability and transmitted indicated capability.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in various networking devices to optimize link training processes. - It can be used in data centers, telecommunications equipment, and other network infrastructure to improve communication efficiency.
Problems Solved: - Addresses the need for efficient link training between network devices. - Helps in enhancing the reliability and performance of network connections.
Benefits: - Improved link training efficiency. - Enhanced communication reliability. - Better network performance.

Original Abstract Submitted
Examples described herein relate to link training between network connected devices. In some examples, an amount to extend link training is determined. The amount to extend link training can be determined by: receiving, by a receiver in a first device, signals over a lane from a transmitter in a second device, the signals indicating capability to extend link training time and amount to extend link training time; determining, at the first device, a link training time based on a default link training time and an amount to extend link training time; and performing link training based on the determined link training time. In some examples, the determined amount is highest common denominator of the received identified capability and transmitted indicated capability.
