Embodiment Construction

[0021] The principles and operation of the systems and methods according to the present embodiments may be better understood with reference to the drawings and accompanying descriptions. One embodiment of a system and method for power conservation in an IEEE 802 type network overcomes the deficiencies of conventional techniques by using information from the user and network device for initiating power saving by the user or network device, enabling Enables power savings on links such as optical networks. The innovative technology provides a system and method for communicating between a user and a network device, prompting the user or the network device to initiate a sleep mode for the user device. Implementation of a sleep mode in a device allows the device's transmitter and receiver to be powered down for a specified length of time during which the transmitter and receiver (also referred to as the device's physical (PHY) interface) consume no power. It is actually noted that,...

Abstract

A system and method for power saving in IEEE 802-style and ITU-T G.984-style networks overcomes the limitations of conventional techniques using information from user and network devices for initiating power savings by the user or network device, enabling power savings on links such as optical networks. This innovative technique provides a system and method for communications between user and network devices, facilitating either the user or network device initiating a sleep mode for the user device. The implementation of a sleep mode in a device allows powering down of the device's transmitter and receiver for a specified length of time, during which the transmitter and receiver (also referred to as the physical interface of the device) consume diminished power.

Description

technical field [0001] The present embodiments generally relate to the field of communication networks, and more specifically, to systems and methods for power saving in IEEE 802 type and ITU-T G.984 type networks. Background technique [0002] This application claims the benefit of Provisional Patent Application (PPA) Serial No. 61 / 147,103, filed January 25, 2009, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. [0003] Background information on technology and terminology can be found in the IEEE 802 and ITU-T G.984 standards. Rising energy costs, increasing data center size, and increasing density of electronic equipment are some of the reasons businesses are becoming increasingly sensitive to the impact of energy consumption in operations. In particular, many companies focus on the power usage of their information technology (IT) systems to determine if energy costs are reduced. One aspect of power usage is the energy consumption of communication equipment. ...
