Abstract
A muticarrier transceiver is provided with a sleep mode in which it idles with reduced power consumption when it is not needed to transmit or receive data. The full transmission and reception capabilities of the transceiver are quickly restored when needed, without requiring the full (and time-consuming) initialization commonly needed to restore such transceivers to operation after inactivity.
Claims9
1-17. (canceled)
A multicarrier transceiver having a low power sleep mode capability comprising:
- means for storing selected state parameters representing characteristics of a communications channel over which the transceiver is operating;
- means for reducing power to portions of the transceiver to enter the low power sleep mode;
- means for restoring power to the portions;
- means for restoring the transceiver from the sleep mode based on the selected state parameters;
- and
- means for restoring communications without a reinitialization of the transceiver.
