TECHNIQUES FOR COMMUNICATIONS POWER MANAGEMENT BASED ON SYSTEM STATES
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a communications sub-system having a control policy module, a controller and a first transceiver capable of operating at different communications rates, the control policy module operative to receive computing power state information and communications state information, determine a communications rate parameter for the first transceiver based on the computing power state information and the communications state information, and instruct the controller to modify a communications rate for the first transceiver based on the communications rate parameter.

Abstract
Techniques for communications based power management based on system states are described. An apparatus may comprise a communications sub-system having a control policy module, a controller and a first transceiver capable of operating at different communications rates. The control policy module may be operative to receive computing power state information and communications state information, determine a communications rate parameter for the first transceiver based on the computing power state information and the communications state information, and instruct the controller to modify a communications rate for the first transceiver based on the communications rate parameter. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
