  • Patent number: 11356237
    Abstract: Systems and methods for HDMI signal communication over an optical communication link are described. One aspect includes receiving an HDMI control signal from an HDMI master device, and another HDMI control signal from an HDMI sink terminal via a communication resources. The method identifies half-duplex communication resource contention between the HDMI control signal and the other HDMI control signal, and transitions a communication direction of the half-duplex communication resources to give the HDMI control signal precedence over the other HDMI control signal. Subsequent to transitioning the communication direction, the method transfers the HDMI control signal to the HDMI sink terminal via the communication resources. Subsequent to transferring the HDMI control signal, the method again transitions the direction of the half-duplex communication resources, and transfers the other HDMI control signal to the HDMI master device.

  • Publication number: 20220159221
    Abstract: Systems and methods for signal communication over an optical link are described. One aspect includes receiving a source CONFIG1 signal from a DP master device and a sink CONFIG1 signal from a sink terminal. The source and sink CONFIG1 signals are analyzed. It is determined whether a signal transmission mode is a DP protocol. For a DP protocol, a pair of source AUX signals is received from the DP master device. A pair of sink AUX signals is received from the sink terminal. Communication resource contention between the source and sink AUX signals is identified. A communication direction of the communication resources is transitioned to give the source AUX signals precedence over the sink AUX signals. The source AUX signals are transferred to the sink terminal via the communication resources. The direction of the communication resources is again transitioned. The sink AUX signals are transferred to the DP master device.

  • Patent number: 11314454
    Abstract: In a method for accessing a storage system, a client in the storage system identifies a logical address of a storage device, and queries a management server regarding a mapping between the storage device and a start address of a submission queue (SQ) in the memory of the storage node. The client then sends an access request including the logical address of the storage device directed to the start address of the SQ to a network interface card NIC of the storage node. The NIC receives and sends the access request to the start address of the SQ in the memory. The storage device obtains the access request from the start address of the SQ and executes the access request.

  • Publication number: 20220109622
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to multi-access traffic management in multi-access computing environments. A reliability enhancement engine (REE) operated by a multi-access multipath traffic manager identifies traffic flows that have high reliability requirements (“reliability flows”) and performs admission control for the reliability flows. The REE determines a coding rate (e.g., a redundancy factor) and traffic distribution strategies for the identified reliability flows. The REE applies cross-access network coding (NC) on the reliability flows, and handles multi-access acknowledgements and traffic pacing, which may involve multiplexing traffic of the reliability flows with non-high-reliability traffic. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
