  • Method and system of adapting communication links to link conditions on a platform
    Patent number: 9104793
    Abstract: A method and system to adapt communication links statically and/or dynamically to their individual link conditions on a platform. The communicatively coupled devices have logic to adapt one or more settings of a respective one or more communication links with another device based at least in part on a respective metric of received data patterns from the respective one or more communication links. The communicatively coupled devices in the platform have a back channel to allow feedback or information to be sent from one receiving device to a transmitting device in one embodiment of the invention.
