Dynamic pcie speed adjustment for wireless devices
The granted patent US12072831B2 outlines a dynamic method for adjusting the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) speed in wireless devices. This method involves determining whether to transition from a current PCIe speed to a target PCIe speed based on several criteria, including noise level thresholds, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) thresholds, and current data rate requirements. The process includes assessing the noise level associated with the current PCIe speed and selecting a target speed if the noise exceeds the threshold. Additionally, the method requires evaluating the noise and SNR levels of the target speed to ensure they meet the specified thresholds before making any changes.
The patent further details the functionality of a wireless device equipped with a processor that executes this dynamic speed-adjusting method. The processor is responsible for determining the appropriate PCIe speed based on the aforementioned criteria and can select alternative target speeds if the initial target does not meet the required SNR or data rate. The device can maintain the current PCIe speed if the noise levels are acceptable, ensuring optimal performance. Furthermore, the patent describes a user equipment (UE) configuration that includes a host device and a PCIe interface, allowing for coordinated speed adjustments between the host and the wireless device. This innovation aims to enhance the efficiency and reliability of data transmission in wireless communications.
