发明名称 Method and apparatus for increasing data rates between nodes of a serial bus
摘要 A method of altering topology of a serial bus having a plurality of nodes interconnected in a tree topology in order to increase data rates between the plurality of nodes includes the step of obtaining a current topology representation of the serial bus which indicates a first node of the plurality of nodes is coupled to a second node of the plurality of nodes via a third node of the plurality of nodes. Another step of the method includes obtaining data rate capabilities of each node of the serial bus. The method further includes determining based upon the current topology representation of the serial bus and the data rate capabilities of each node that the third node of supports a third maximum data rate that is slower than a first maximum data rate supported by the first node and a second maximum data rate supported by the second node. Furthermore, the method includes generating in response to the determining step a new topology representation for the serial bus in which the third node is not coupled between the first node and the second node.
