Patent ID: 8331390

Claim:
A method for transmitting data, encoded in a signal, between a transmitting user and a receiving user of a data-transmission system via a network structure of the data-transmission system, the method comprising: transmitting data encoded in the signal serially in a bit-by-bit manner in data frames having a defined structure, each bit of the data encoded in the signal being sampled in the receiving user, the signal being asymmetrically delayed due to the transmission via the network structure; and determining an asymmetrical delay of the signal at at least one point in the network structure and at least partially compensating for the asymmetrical delay of the signal before the receiving user samples bits of the data encoded in the signal, wherein the asymmetrical delay of the signal is caused by a time duration difference between the signal changing from rising to falling edge and from falling to rising edge in a transmission protocol utilized in the data transmission, and wherein the asymmetrical delay of the signal is determined in advance of the data transmission and compensated for during the data transmission.
