Abstract

A network station scheduling a frame to be transmitted by a transmitter of the network station at a transmit time. The transmit time is based on a first clock. A request is then issued to a direct memory access (DMA) circuit to retrieve the frame from a system memory. An advance time offset associated with the first clock is determined based on an estimated DMA latency of the DMA circuit. A frame retrieved by the DMA circuit is provided to a staging circuit. When a time of a second clock reaches the transmit time of the frame in the staging circuit, the frame is transmitted at the transmit time. In an example, a time of the first clock is ahead of a time of the second clock by the advance time offset.
