Abstract

See full text

A method and system to dynamically manager power in a communication system are provided herein. The method comprises the steps of monitoring a transmit data queue once every first pre-determined period of time and determining whether the transmit data queue is empty for a pre-determined number of times. The method further includes the step of generating a transition state signal to stop de-queuing of data from the transmit queue if the transmit data queue is empty for the pre-determined number of times and selectively operating portions of a Physical Layer (PHY) that are used for functions other than transmitting and receiving an idle signal in a low power mode.
