SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DIGITAL DATA TRANSMISSION RATE CONTROL

摘要

The present invention provides systems and methods for adaptive digital data transmission rate control. A digital data transmission system for adaptively transferring packets over a transmission link includes a client device (206) having a bandwidth control module (740) and a host device (222) coupled to the client device over the transmission link (201). The host device includes one or more bandwidth control registers (710, 720) and a packet builder (460). The bandwidth control module determines a packet speed and/or size for packets transmitted from the host device to the client device over the transmission link. The bandwidth control registers store the requested packet size and/or rate. The packet builder accesses these registers when transmitting packets to determine the requested packet size and/or rate.
