AMBA AHB

HI,Ihave a breat problem please help me
Question1:
I'm doing a project that consists in conception of four wrappers between a Network on Chip (NOC) and an AMBA AHB bus. I'll explain you the function of each one to more understand my work and more help me to resolve my problem. My goal is to do a read or write transfer between a master and a slave via the NOC and because of the difference of communication protocols we should have a wrapper which has the function of protocol adaptation. So we need four wrappers that will be more explained there for:
Wrapper1: between the AMBA AHB bus and the router of the NOC, used for the sending of requests by the master.
Wrapper2: between the router of the NOC and bus and AMBA AHB, used for reception of requests by the slave.
Wrapper3: between the AMBA AHB bus and the router of the NOC, used for sending response of the slave in case of read transfer.
Wrapper4: between the AMBA AHB bus and the router of the NOC, used for receiving the response of the slave by the master when read transfer.
Now, my problem is when the slave will send a response to the master via the wrapper3, how he will inform it that he will send response on the response bus HRDATA (like the master inform the wrapper1 that he will send him a data request by using the signal HTRANS and when HTRANS is equal to NONSEQ the wrapper know that the master will begin the transfer) and how the slave will know that the slave will send him a response. So I need a signal like HTRANS that can be used by the slave to inform the wrapper3 that he will send response on the bus HRDATA.
Question2:
Can the master finish the transfer by giving BUSY to the signal HTRANS?

please answer me as soon as possble and thank you very much.
