Abstract: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses to determine transmission equalization coefficients (TxEQs) for one or more lanes of a high speed serial link. Embodiments include determining a jitter tolerance for each TxEQ of a plurality of TxEQs for a lane of the link. The jitter tolerance for each TxEQ for the lane is based on a level of jitter induced on the lane to detect a number of errors on the lane; determining a voltage (VOC) margin for each TxEQ for the lane, wherein the voltage margin for the lane is based on a voltage corners test applied to the lane to detect a number of errors on the lane at a high voltage point and a low voltage point; determining a TxEQ that provides maximum jitter tolerance and based on the determined lowest voltage margin; and using the TxEQ for the lane during operation.

Abstract: A Spontaneous Area Network (SPAN) is formed by mobile and fixed nodes using wireless transmission links between nodes, usually in a nearby geographical area. Applications allow users to create, join, leave, and manage SPANs and groups in a SPAN. Automatic procedures allow nodes to join other SPANs. Transmission power of the wireless network interface is dynamic, varying depending on battery level, type of information to transmit, state and topology of the network. A delay tolerant object layer abstraction creates, modifies, deletes, publishes, and handles Delay Tolerant Distributed Objects (DTDOs). A Patient Transport Protocol (PTP) ensures a reliable transport of information through the network while avoiding congestion conditions. An aggressive and explosive network protocol (AGENET) has routing and forwarding capacities and uses datagrams to establish communication between different nodes of the SPAN.
