Patent ID: 8593996

Claim:
A method for computing a routing path in a High Definition Base transmission (HDBaseT) network, the method comprising: transmitting, by a first device to a second device through the HDBaseT network, a Link Status Request message requesting Link status information; receiving, by the first device from the second device through the HDBaseT network, a Link Status Notify message including Link status information of the second device; updating, by the first device, a Link Status table based upon the Link status information of the second device; computing, by the first device, Routing Path information from a source device to a sink device based upon the Link Status table; computing, by the first device, information on a transmission port being used in the routing path based upon the Routing Path information; and transferring, by the first device, multiple streams to the sink device based on the Routing Path information and the information on the transmission port, wherein the first device and the second device are HDbaseT devices providing a simultaneous transmission of the multiple streams, a transmission of uncompressed data, and a power transmission through a single link and wherein the multiple streams are transmitted uncompressed.
