Abstract
In a conventional system with a UFS storage device connected to a UFS host over one or more lanes, the lanes can support different transmission speeds, referred to as gears. The UFS host shifts lanes and gears based on the type of request it receives. When the requests arrive in random order of gear requirements, the frequent shifting of the lanes and gears causes significant power consumption. To address this issue, it is proposed to implement a queue-based shifting in which arriving requests may be queued based on their gear requirements. When a queue is selected, multiple requests in the selected queue, which are all of same or similar gear requirement, can be served. This can reduce the frequency of gear shifting, and hence reduce power consumption.
