<p>#CMT# #/CMT# The method involves transmitting a data packet associated with priority information or a priority channel, from a transmitting unit to a reception unit of a network, using an asynchronous communication protocol. Elementary data of the packet transmitted towards the reception unit are accompanied with a send signal (200). The reception unit authorizes the transmitting unit by transmitting an accept signal (210) to the transmitting unit. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for an on-chip network including units communicating between them. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Used for transmitting data from a transmitting unit to a reception unit in an asynchronous on-chip network (claimed). #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The method allows rapid transfer of data between the transmission unit and the reception unit in the asynchronous network without the need for a universal clock for managing the data transfer. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a timing diagram of a synchronization mechanism in an on-chip network between the transmitting and reception units. 200 : Send signal 210 : Accept signal 221-226 : Portions 240 : End of packet signal 250 : Begin of packet signal.</p> |
