Abstract
For one disclosed embodiment, data corresponding to an idle duration for one or more downstream devices may be received. Power may be managed based at least in part on the received data. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
Claims23
An apparatus comprising:
- first logic to receive data corresponding to an idle duration for one or more downstream devices;
- and
- second logic to manage power based at least in part on the received data.
A method comprising:
- receiving data corresponding to an idle duration for one or more downstream devices;
- and
- managing power based at least in part on the received data.
An apparatus comprising:
- logic to receive data corresponding to an idle duration for multiple downstream devices;
- logic to track expiration of idle durations;
- and
- logic to transmit data corresponding to an idle duration that will expire next to manage power based at least in part on the idle duration that will expire next.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving data corresponding to an idle duration for multiple downstream devices;
- tracking expiration of idle durations;
- and
- transmitting data corresponding to an idle duration that will expire next to manage power based at least in part on the idle duration that will expire next.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- first logic to help control functionality of a device;
- and
- second logic to transmit to an upstream device data corresponding to an idle duration for one or more upstream devices to manage power based at least in part on the idle duration.
A method comprising:
- controlling functionality of a device;
- and
- transmitting to an upstream device data corresponding to an idle duration for one or more upstream devices to manage power based at least in part on the idle duration.
