Abstract
A transmitter and receiver for communication of multimedia streams across a multi-lane communications link. The transmitter packetizes multimedia streams according to a link layer protocol and distributes the packets across multiple lanes of a communications link. The entire packet, including the header and payload, can be distributed across the lanes in an ordered sequence to increase utilization of the communication lanes. The transmitter may also packetize multiple multimedia streams and intermix the packets across the lanes of the communication lane. The receiver extracts the packets that are distributed across the multiple lanes and decodes the packets into the multimedia streams.
