4.3.2.7 Communication Interruptions

In the event that a protocol sequence is interrupted midstream, this sequence can be resumed at the point of interruption if the elapsed time of inactivity is less than the maximum t_BIT time. If the sequence is interrupted for longer than the maximum t_BIT, the host must wait at least the minimum t_HTSS before continuing. By waiting the minimum t_HTSS time, a new Start condition is created and the device is ready to receive a new command. It is recommended that the host start over and repeat the transaction that was interrupted midstream.
