Abstract:
In a conventional system with a UFS storage device connected to a UFS host over one or more lanes, the lanes can support different transmission speeds, referred to as gears. The UFS host shifts lanes and gears based on the type of request it receives. When the requests arrive in random order of gear requirements, the frequent shifting of the lanes and gears causes significant power consumption. To address this issue, it is proposed to implement a queue-based shifting in which arriving requests may be queued based on their gear requirements. When a queue is selected, multiple requests in the selected queue, which are all of same or similar gear requirement, can be served. This can reduce the frequency of gear shifting, and hence reduce power consumption.

Claim (Index 14):
The apparatus of  claim 1 ,\n wherein the storage device is a first storage device, the host PHY is a first host PHY, the connection is a first connection, the request controller is a first request controller, the plurality of queues are a plurality of first queues, and the plurality of requests are a plurality of first requests, wherein the host further comprises:\n a second PHY configured to communicate with a second storage device over a second connection in one of the plurality of communication modes; \n a plurality of second queues corresponding to the communication modes applicable to the second connection, and \n a second request controller configured to interface with the second PHY, \n wherein the second request controller is configured to\n receive a plurality of second requests targeting the second storage device, \n determine a communication mode of each second request, \n send each second request to the second queue corresponding to the communication mode of that second request, \n select a second queue based on a number of second requests in each second queue, and \n provide the second requests of the selected second queue to the second PHY for transmission of the provided second requests to the second storage device by the second PHY over the second connection.
