Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method of operating a data transmission system, the data transmission system comprising a transmitter and a receiver, the computer-implemented method comprising:
using the transmitter to send serialized data from the transmitter through a plurality of lanes to the receiver;
wherein the plurality of lanes comprises a set of degraded lanes and a set of non-degraded lanes;
wherein a defective lane compensation circuit of the data transmission system is configured to perform a mapping of the serialized data from the plurality of lanes to the set of non-degraded lanes;
wherein the transmitter sends the serialized data at a first serialization ratio;
wherein the receiver is configured to receive and load the serialized data at a second deserialization ratio; and
wherein the first serialization ratio is greater than the second deserialization ratio.
