COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND INTERFACING METHOD FOR INPUT/OUTPUT CONTROLLER INTERFACE

摘要

A communication apparatus is disclosed. The communication apparatus comprises a transmission module and an I/O controller interface. The transmission module is configured to transmit data. The I/O controller interface acts as a host controller interface between the transmission module and a host module of an alternate MAC/PHY (AMP) manager. The I/O controller interface directs the transmission module to transmit and receive data of the AMP manager according to I/O request packets forwarded by the host module.
