Abstract
Low latency transmission systems and methods for long distances in SOUNDWIRE systems are disclosed. In an exemplary aspect, a SOUNDWIRE sub-system is coupled to a long cable through a bridge. The bridge converts SOUNDWIRE signals to signals for transmission over the long cable and converts the signals from the long cable to the SOUNDWIRE signals for transmission in the SOUNDWIRE sub-system. Conversion between signal types may include concatenating signals of a similar type into a group that is serially transmitted over the long cable. Concatenation of bit slots in this manner consumes minimal overhead in bus turnaround, thereby reducing latency. In further aspects, the functionality of the bridge may be incorporated into a headset or a mobile terminal.
