Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided. The method includes establishing a communication channel between a first transceiver and a second transceiver in low power mode, and determining a training parameter using the communication channel. The method also includes performing training in response to determining the training parameter. The apparatus, capable of communicating with a transceiver, includes a first and second logic. The first logic is capable of establishing a communication channel with the transceiver in a low power mode. The second logic is capable determining a training parameter using the communication channel, and providing the training parameter to the transceiver.
Claims33
A method comprising:
- establishing a communication channel between a first transceiver and a second transceiver in low power mode;
- determining, at the first transceiver, a training parameter in response to establishing the communication channel in the low power mode;
- performing training, at the first transceiver, based at least on the training parameter;
- and
- providing the training parameter that is used in training of the first transceiver to the second transceiver.
An apparatus for communicating with a transceiver, comprising:
- a first logic being capable of establishing a communication channel with the transceiver in a low power mode;
- and
- a second logic being capable of
- determining a training parameter in response to establishing the communication channel in the low power mode;
- performing training based at least on the training parameter;
- and
- providing the training parameter that is used in training to the transceiver.
A system, comprising:
- a first transceiver;
- and
- a second transceiver capable of establishing a communication channel with the first transceiver in a low power mode;
- determining the training parameter in response to establishing the communication channel in the low power mode;
- performing training, at the second transceiver, based at least on the training parameter;
- and
- providing the training parameter that is used in training of the second transceiver to the first transceiver.
An apparatus, comprising:
- means for establishing a communication channel between a first transceiver and a second transceiver in low power mode;
- means for determining training parameters in response to establishing the communication channel in the low power mode;
- means for performing training, at the first transceiver, based at least on the training parameter;
- and
- means for providing the training parameters to the second transceiver.
