Abstract
Embodiments of a repeater, an embedded Universal Serial Bus (eUSB) repeater, and a method of operating a repeater are disclosed. In an embodiment, a repeater includes a buffer configured to store data that is received during a time distance between an input start and a frame slot start, a counter configured to calculate a waiting time before starting frame transmission, and a transmitter configured to transmit predefined data at the frame slot start over a repeater channel and to transmit the data that is stored in the buffer over the repeater channel after the waiting time from the frame slot start.

A repeater comprising:
- a buffer configured to store data that is received during a time distance between an input start and a frame slot start;
- a counter configured to calculate a waiting time before starting frame transmission;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit predefined data at the frame slot start over a repeater channel and to transmit the data that is stored in the buffer over the repeater channel after the waiting time from the frame slot start.
An embedded Universal Serial Bus (eUSB) repeater comprising:
- a buffer configured to store data that is received during a time distance between an input start and a frame slot start;
- a counter configured to calculate a waiting time before starting frame transmission in a frame slot having the frame slot start;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit a plurality of leading zeros at the frame slot start over a repeater channel and to transmit the data that is stored in the buffer over the repeater channel in the frame slot after the waiting time from the frame slot start.
A method of operating a repeater, the method comprising:
- storing data that is received during a time distance between an input start and a frame slot start;
- calculating a waiting time before starting frame transmission;
- transmitting predefined data at the frame slot start over a repeater channel;
- and
- transmitting the data that is stored over the repeater channel after the waiting time from the frame slot start.
