Abstract: Methods and systems for uneven segmentation of data packets to reduce retransmission penalty accumulated as a result of having to retransmit one or more of the last segments. The method includes segmenting a data packet into segments of different sizes, with generally larger segments in the first half and smaller segments in the second half, and transmitting the segments over an intermediate communication link to another node. The transmission of the segments begins before receiving the entire data packet, and retransmission of a corrupted segment takes place as soon as an indication indicative of the corrupted segment is detected.

Abstract: Disclosed efficient low-latency transmissions of USB data over an HDBaseT network. One method involves receiving a USB data packet from a first USB port, segmenting the USB data packet into multiple HDBaseT packets having different payload sizes, transmitting the HDBaseT packets over the HDBaseT network in a specific order, reassembling a restored USB data packet from the transmitted HDBaseT packets, and forwarding the restored USB data packet to a second USB port. The method optimizes HDBaseT abilities to extend USB transmissions by reducing the latency associated with retransmitting the last HDBaseT packets segmented from a USB data packet.

Abstract: Embodiments for transmitting uneven segments of a data packet over an intermediate communication link are disclosed. One embodiment includes receiving a data packet by a first node, segmenting the data packet into N segments, such that the size of each of the last two segments is shorter than the average size of the previous (N?2) segments, encoding the segments such that the reliability of each of the last two segments is better than the average reliability of the previous (N?2) segments, and transmitting the segments to a second node over the intermediate communication link. In this way, the most latency-sensitive segments are shortened and encoded with better reliability than the average segment, thereby improving network performance and efficiency.
