Description

High-speed serial signal processing method and device

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of serial communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for processing a high speed serial signal.

Background technique

High-speed serial communication technology generally refers to a serial communication technology in which the data transmission rate reaches a prescribed rate (for example, 6.25 Gbps). The Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) technology is a point-to-point high-speed serial communication technology that has received extensive attention in the communications industry. In Serdes technology, multiple low-speed parallel signals are first converted into high-speed serial signals by a serializer. The high-speed serial signals are transmitted to the deserializer via a serial channel (for example, a high-speed cable or a printed circuit board backplane). Finally, the deserializer reconverts the received high speed serial signal into a low speed parallel signal.

In the process of high-speed serial communication using SerDes technology, transmission loss occurs in the transmission process of high-speed serial signals. In order to ensure the transmission quality of high-speed serial signals, an equalization technique is needed to process high-speed serial signals. Specifically, the equalization technique is used to process the high-speed serial signal, which can be implemented by using a forward forward equalizer (Feed Forward Equalization) (ie, "FFE") in the deserializer (ie, pre-emphasis processing of the high-speed serial signal). It can also be implemented by using a Decision Feedback Equalizer ("DFE") in the deserializer (that is, adaptive equalization processing on high-speed serial signals).

However, when the FFE scale is used to process the high-speed serial signal transmitted by the serializer, it can only be performed before the high-speed serial communication is established between the transmitting end and the receiving end. If the serial channel condition changes due to temperature, aging, etc. during high-speed serial communication, the transmission loss of the high-speed serial signal through the serial channel will also change, if the transmission loss of the high-speed serial signal Exceeding the adjustment range of the DFE equalizer will result in packet loss or even service interruption.

In the high-speed serial communication process, when the serial channel condition changes, so that the transmission loss of the high-speed serial signal exceeds the adjustment capability range of the DFE equalizer, the receiving end can obtain the control information from the data stream in real time. The high-speed serial signal sent by the receiving end is pre-emphasized, so that the adjustment capability of the DFE equalizer at the transmitting end is sufficient to adjust the received high-speed serial signal, thereby ensuring the transmission quality of the high-speed serial signal and ensuring the service. The reliability of data transmission.

Embodiment 2

The embodiment of the invention provides a method for processing a high-speed serial signal, which is executed by a transmitting end. Referring to FIG. 3, the method includes:

Step S21: Generate a data stream, where the data stream carries service data and control information, where the control information is used to instruct the receiving end to perform pre-emphasis processing on the high-speed serial signal sent by the receiving end.

In step S22, the data stream is sent to the receiving end.

Embodiment 3

The embodiment of the present invention provides a high-speed serial signal processing method, which is applicable to a high-speed cable or a printed circuit board backplane for transmitting an Ethernet message or the like. In this embodiment, the control information is carried in the control report. In this document, the control packet has different identifiers from the service packets used to carry the service data, for example, different preambles or different virtual local area network (VLAN) labels. Referring to Figure 4, the method includes:

Step S31: The sending end generates a data stream, and carries a handshake message in the data stream, where the handshake message is used to verify whether the receiving end can identify the control message.

Specifically, the data stream includes a plurality of service packets for carrying the service data, and the control packet carrying the handshake message in the data stream is inserted between the service packets. In implementation, this step S31 can be implemented by the inserter in FIG.

In this embodiment, the control information is carried in the control message. Before the sending end sends the control message to the receiving end, it needs to verify whether the receiving end can identify the control message. If the receiving end can identify the control message, the sending end The control message carrying the control information is sent to the receiving end.

Optionally, the handshake message may be carried in a packet (that is, a control packet) in which the preamble is a preset preamble, or the handshake message may be carried in a packet with a preset Vlan label, preset. The preamble is different from the preamble of the service packet. The preset Vlan label is different from the Vlan label of the service packet. The receiving end can verify whether the receiving end can identify the control message by judging whether the handshake message can be identified.

Step S32, the sending end sends a data stream carrying the handshake message to the receiving end.

In this embodiment, the transmitting end sends a data stream to the receiving end through the serializer.

Step S33: The receiving end sends a response message to the sending end, where the response message is used to indicate that the receiving end can identify the control message.

Specifically, when the receiving end can obtain the handshake message carried in the data stream, the receiving end can identify the control message and obtain the information therein, that is, the control packet carries the control information, and the receiving end sends the control information to the sending end. Send a response message. It is easy to know that if the receiving end cannot obtain the handshake message carried in the data stream, the response message will not be sent to the sender. Similarly, the response message may be carried in a data stream sent by the receiving end to the transmitting end.

Step S34: The receiving end sends an identifier to the transmitting end, where the identifier is used by the sending end to be carried in the control message.

It should be noted that in the process of actual high-speed serial communication, there is a certain probability that errors or interference messages may be incorporated into the data stream. In this embodiment, in order to ensure the reliability of the receiving control message received by the receiving end, the receiving end allocates an identification code to the transmitting end, and the identification code is used by the transmitting end to be carried in the control message, so that the receiving end can identify and receive the receiving message. The incoming control message is sent by the sender.

Optionally, the identifier may be carried in the response message sent by the receiving end to the sending end, or may be carried by a separate message.

Step S35: The transmitting end sends a data stream carrying control information to the receiving end, where the control information is used to instruct the receiving end to perform pre-emphasis processing on the high-speed serial signal sent by the receiving end.

Specifically, after receiving the response message sent by the receiving end, the sending end carries the control information in the data stream and sends the control information to the receiving end. When the sending end sends the control information to the receiving end, the sending end may insert the control message carrying the control information into the service packet of the data stream by using the inserter. That is, the data stream includes a plurality of packets, and the plurality of packets include service packets carrying service data and control packets carrying control information. As described above, the control packet carrying the control information may be a packet with a preset preamble, or may also be a packet with a preset Vlan label.

The control information is used to instruct the FFE equalizer of the receiving end to re-emphasize the high-speed serial signal to compensate for the transmission loss of the high-speed serial signal transmitted by the receiving end. Specifically, the control information may include: an adjustment instruction, an equalization state of the transmitting end, and an adjustment capability range of the transmitting end, where the adjustment instruction is used to instruct the receiving end to adjust the equalization state of the receiving end.

In step S36, the receiving end acquires control information in the data stream.

Specifically, when the carrying control information is a packet with a preset preamble, the foregoing step S36 can be implemented as follows:

Parsing each of the plurality of packets to obtain a preamble of each packet;

Obtaining a packet in which the preamble is a preset preamble in the plurality of packets, where the preset preamble is used to indicate that the packet carrying the preset preamble is a control packet;

The control information is obtained from the obtained control message.

In this embodiment, each packet of the data stream is transmitted in a frame structure on the Ethernet. The preset preamble may be AAAAAAAAAAAAD5, that is, the preamble of the control packet is set to AAAAAAAAAAAAD5, and the service report may also be The preamble of the text is set to 55555555555555D5, so that the splitter at the receiving end can conveniently separate the control message from the data stream and transmit it to the processor to obtain the control information carried in the control message.

Alternatively, when the control information is a packet with a preset Vlan label, the foregoing step S36 can be implemented as follows:

Parsing each packet in multiple packets to obtain a Vlan label of each packet;

Obtaining a packet in which the Vlan label is a preset Vlan label, and the preset Vlan label is used to indicate that the packet carrying the preset Vlan label is a control packet.

The control information is obtained from the obtained control message.

In this embodiment, the Vlan label can be set in the control packet, and the Vlan label in the control packet can be identified by the splitter, so that the control packet can be conveniently separated from the data stream. In practical applications, the Vlan tag can be set between the "Source Access Control Layer ("MAC") Address" and "Category/Length Field (Type/Len)" in the data frame of the Ethernet message. .

In step S37, the receiving end performs pre-emphasis processing on the high-speed serial signal according to the acquired control information.

In this embodiment, the receiving end sends the obtained control information to the FFE equalizer of the receiving end, and after receiving the control information, the FFE equalizer can re-adjust the pre-emphasis parameter according to the control information, and then re-send the receiving end. The high-speed serial signal is pre-emphasized.

As described above, the control information may include: an adjustment command, an equalization state of the transmitting end, and an adjustment capability range of the transmitting end. In this embodiment, the adjustment instruction is used to instruct the receiving end to adjust the pre-emphasis parameter of the FFE equalizer to re-emphasize the high-speed serial signal sent by the receiving end; the equalizing state of the transmitting end refers to using the equalization technique. When adjusting, the EFE equalizer state of the transmitting end; the adjusting capability range of the transmitting end refers to the adjusting capability range of the DFE equalizer of the transmitting end when adjusting by the equalization technique.

In practical applications, the processor at the receiving end also acquires the equalization state of the FFE equalizer at the receiving end and the adjustment capability range of the FFE equalizer at the receiving end. When receiving the adjustment instruction in the control information, the processor at the receiving end first determines whether the execution of the adjustment instruction exceeds the adjustment capability range of the receiving end FFE equalizer. If the processor determines that the received adjustment command is executed, it will exceed the receiving end FFE. The range of the equalizer's adjustment capability, the processor will not execute the received adjustment command; if it is determined that the adjustment capability range of the receiver FFE equalizer is not exceeded, the processor executes the received adjustment command. For example, the equalization state of the FFE equalizer on the receiving end is +3, the adjustment capability of the FFE equalizer on the receiving end is -10 to +10, and the adjustment command indicates that the equalization state of the FFE equalizer is increased by 3, and then the FFE is executed after the adjustment instruction is executed. The equalizer's equalization state is +6, which does not exceed the adjustment range of the FFE equalizer. The processor at the receiving end executes the adjustment command.

In addition, if the receiving end receives the adjustment command to indicate the adjustment made by the receiving end, and does not exceed the adjustment capability range of the receiving end FFE equalizer, the receiving end is based on the equalizing state of the DFE equalizer of the transmitting end and the adjusting capability of the DFE equalizer of the transmitting end. Range, it is judged whether the transmission loss of the high-speed serial signal after re-emphasis processing exceeds the adjustment capability range of the DFE equalizer of the transmitting end when transmitting to the transmitting end. If the judgment exceeds the adjustment capability range of the DFE equalizer on the transmitting end, the receiving end instructs the transmitting end to continue to send the control message. If the judgment does not exceed the adjustment capability range of the DFE equalizer of the transmitting end, the receiving end instructs the transmitting end to stop sending the control. Message.

Moreover, the processor at the receiving end also acquires the equalization state of the DFE equalizer at the receiving end and the adjustment capability range of the DFE equalizer at the receiving end in real time, and detects the high-speed serial signal sent by the transmitting end when receiving the data stream sent by the transmitting end. Whether the transmission loss exceeds the adjustment capability range of the DFE equalizer at the receiving end. If it exceeds, the receiving end will according to the transmission loss condition of the high-speed serial signal, the adjustment capability range of the receiving DFE equalizer, and the DFE equalizer of the receiving end. The balance state generates control information, and the generated control information is carried in the control message and sent to the transmitting end.

It should be noted that the receiving end and the transmitting end are devices having the same structure and function. In other embodiments, the receiving end can perform the functions of the sending end in the foregoing steps S31 to S37, and the transmitting end can perform the above steps S31 to S37. The function of the receiving end is not limited here. Furthermore, the method described in this embodiment is applicable to, but not limited to, the SerDes technology.

Embodiment 4

In this embodiment, the control information is carried in the data stream. The gap between the business messages is in the gap. Referring to Figure 5, the method includes:

Step S41: The transmitting end generates a data stream, where the data stream carries service data and control information, and the control information is used to instruct the receiving end to perform pre-emphasis processing on the high-speed serial signal sent by the receiving end.

Specifically, the data stream includes a service packet and an idle gap between the adjacent service packets, where the service data is carried in the service packet, and the control information is carried in the idle gap.

In this embodiment, the service packets in the data stream are time-interval in the transmission process, and the idle gap is used to fill in the time intervals so that the data flow remains uninterrupted. In the data stream, in addition to the control message to carry the control information, the idle gap can also be used to carry the control information. For example, when the receiving end and the transmitting end communicate via Ethernet, the packets in the data stream sent by the sending end to the receiving end are encapsulated and processed in the form of one frame and one frame, and the frame and the frame are stored. There is a frame gap, and the idle gap in the data stream may be the above frame gap. In the Ethernet, the frame gap includes a minimum frame gap (including 12 characters), and the minimum frame gap can be used to carry control information. Specifically, the first 3 characters and the last 3 characters of the 12 characters can be reserved. Select the middle 6 characters to carry the control information.

In practical applications, the receiving end and the transmitting end perform link negotiation before establishing high-speed serial communication to determine a transmission rate, a transmission bandwidth, and the like between the transmitting end and the receiving end. In the embodiment of the present invention, During the negotiation of the link, the sender and the receiver also negotiate whether the idle gap can be used to carry the control information. Specifically, the transmitting end and the receiving end respectively detect whether they have the function of carrying control information in the idle gap and whether the function is enabled, and interactively detect the result to determine whether the idle gap is used to carry the control information.

In step S42, the transmitting end sends a data stream to the receiving end.

In this embodiment, before transmitting the control information in the idle gap, the sending end sends a handshake message to the receiving end, where the handshake message is used to verify whether the receiving end can identify the control information in the idle gap, and the handshake message is carried in the data. The idle gap of the stream. If the receiving end can recognize the handshake message, it indicates that the receiving end can recognize the control information in the idle gap. Correspondingly, when the receiving end can identify the handshake message, the response message is sent to the sending end, and the response message is also carried in the idle gap of the data stream sent by the receiving end to the sending end.

Step S43: After receiving the data stream, the receiving end acquires control information in the data stream.

In this embodiment, after receiving the data stream, the processor parses the idle gap in the data stream to obtain control information carried in the idle gap.

Step S44, the receiving end performs pre-emphasis processing on the high-speed serial signal according to the acquired control information.

Specifically, the control information includes: an adjustment instruction, an equalization state of the transmitting end, and an adjustment capability range of the transmitting end, where the adjustment instruction is used to instruct the receiving end to adjust the equalization state of the receiving end.

In the embodiment, after the receiving end obtains the control information, the process of performing the pre-emphasis processing on the transmitted high-speed serial signal is the same as that in the third embodiment, and details are not described herein again.

It should be noted that the receiving end and the transmitting end are devices having the same structure and function. In other embodiments, the receiving end can perform the functions of the sending end in the foregoing steps S41 to S44, and the transmitting end can perform the above steps S41 to S44. The function of the receiving end is not limited here. Furthermore, the method described in this embodiment is applicable to, but not limited to, the SerDes technology.
