HIGH SPEED INTERCONNECT SYMBOL STREAM FORWARD ERROR-CORRECTION

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are techniques to provide forward error correction for a high-speed interconnect symbol stream, such as, DisplayPort. The symbol stream may be split into FEC blocks and parity bits generated for each of the FEC blocks. The parity bits may be interleaved, encoded, and transmitted over an interconnect along with the symbol stream to provide forward error correction for the symbol stream.
