Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for improving data regeneration in an asynchronous communication network is described where data is received on a two wire connection bus at a node in a communication network and is immediately retransmitted to another node therein. Incoming serial data is sampled at the time center of the serial data bit and is then immediately retransmitted based on the sampled data. The delay associated with buffering one full byte of data is reduced by a factor of 20 since the improved data regeneration technique of the present invention immediately retransmits the regenerated data one-half bit after it is received. Therefore, the network throughput is increased by a factor of 2000% and the network transmission media length is increased by a factor corresponding to the number of network nodes.
