Abstract:
1. A transmission system capable of receiving a first token packet and a second token packet, comprising: an upstream port receiving the first token packet and the second token packet; a first downstream port coupled to a first peripheral device; a second downstream port coupled to a second peripheral device; and a processing module coupled between the upstream port and the first downstream port, and coupled between the upstream port and the second downstream port, and comprising: a transmission unit providing a first transmission path between the upstream port and the first peripheral device, and providing a second transmission path between the upstream port and the second peripheral device; and a control unit coupled to the upstream port and the transmission unit to analyze the first token packet and the second token packet, wherein the first token packet comprises information corresponding to the first peripheral device, wherein the control unit controls the transmission unit to disable the second transmission path when the second token packet comprises the information corresponding to the first peripheral device, wherein the upstream port receives the first token packet during a first token period and receives the second token packet during a second token period, and the second token period occurs later than the first token period, and wherein the processing module further comprises a repeater, and the repeater generates a first repeated result by repeating the first token packet during the first token period and transmits the first repeated result to the first peripheral device and the second peripheral device via the first transmission path and the second transmission path respectively, and the repeater generates a second repeated result by repeating the second token packet during the second token period and transmits the second repeated result to the first peripheral device and the second peripheral device via the first transmission path and the second transmission path respectively.
