Abstract
A communication method comprises communicating information on a standardized link compliant with a published standard and communicating information on a private link capable of operation at a throughput higher than maximum throughput of the published standard. The method further comprises monitoring private link performance and increasing information throughput on the private link above the maximum standard throughput by an amount determined by the monitored private link performance.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a communication controller adapted to communicate information on a standardized link compliant with a published standard and on a private link capable of operation at a throughput higher than maximum throughput of the published standard, the communication controller being further adapted to monitor private link performance and selectively increase information throughput on the private link above the maximum standard throughput by an amount determined by the monitored private link performance.
An apparatus comprising:
- a communication controller adapted to communicate information on a communication link using a communication technique selected from among multiple-tiered, progressively higher throughput communication techniques, monitor error rate on the communication link, and select the communication technique and information throughput based on the monitored error rate.
An apparatus comprising:
- a bit error rate analyzer;
- and
- a communication controller coupled to the bit error rate analyzer and adapted to communicate information using a communication technique that selectively increases clock rate throughput rate and mutually optimizes bit rate and bit error rate.
A communication method comprising:
- communicating information on a standardized link compliant with a published standard;
- communicating information on a private link capable of operation at a throughput higher than maximum throughput of the published standard;
- monitoring private link performance;
- and
- increasing information throughput on the private link above the maximum standard throughput by an amount determined by the monitored private link performance.
