Link Negotiation System, Method, and Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240160597 titled 'Link Negotiation System, Method, and Device
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a link negotiation system that involves a second device determining a link configuration policy based on the status of a receiver of an interface on the second device. This policy indicates the association relationship between a unidirectional logical lane and a unidirectional physical lane in a high-speed serial link between a first device and the second device. The system then sends this link configuration policy to the first device.
- Explanation of the patent:
* Second device determines link configuration policy based on receiver status * Policy indicates association between logical and physical lanes in high-speed serial link * Policy sent to first device for implementation
- Potential Applications:**
This technology could be applied in high-speed data transfer systems, such as in networking equipment, data centers, and telecommunications infrastructure.
- Problems Solved:**
This technology solves the problem of efficiently managing and optimizing data transfer between devices in a high-speed serial link.
- Benefits:**
The benefits of this technology include improved data transfer efficiency, reduced latency, and better overall performance of high-speed serial links.
- Potential Commercial Applications:**
- Optimizing Data Transfer Efficiency in High-Speed Serial Links*
- Possible Prior Art:**
One possible prior art could be existing link negotiation systems in high-speed data transfer technologies.
- Unanswered Questions:**
- 1. How does the system handle changes in the receiver status during data transfer?**
The patent application does not provide details on how the system adapts to changes in the receiver status once the link configuration policy has been determined and sent to the first device.
- 2. Are there any limitations to the types of devices that can be connected using this link negotiation system?**
The patent application does not specify if there are any restrictions on the compatibility of devices that can utilize this system for link negotiation.
Original Abstract Submitted
a link negotiation system includes a second device that determines a link configuration policy based on a status of a receiver of an interface of the second device, where the link configuration policy indicates an association relationship between a unidirectional logical lane and a unidirectional physical lane in a high-speed serial link between a first device and the second device, the unidirectional logical lane is a logical lane from the first device to the second device in the high-speed serial link, and the unidirectional physical lane is a physical lane from the first device to the second device in the high-speed serial link; and sends the link configuration policy to the first device.
