Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- a bus;
a first component to send data over the bus; and
a second component, interconnected via the bus to the first component, comprising logic configured to;
receive the data from the first component;
based on a state of the bus, determine a start of a period in which no data is sent to the second component;
enter a sleep mode during the period; and
delay a transmission during a waking process associated with an end of the period.

10. A method, comprising:
-
determining a period in which no data is sent to a to a component over a bus; in response to the determination, entering into a sleep mode associated with the component; identifying an end of the period; and in response to the identification, delaying a transmission over the bus during a waking process associated with the component. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system, comprising:
-
a bus; a first component to receive data, via the bus, with an associated consumption rate, the first component comprising a buffer; and a second component comprising logic configured to; send the data via a burst transmission over a first duration, the first duration based on a size of the buffer; and enter the second component into a sleep mode for second duration, the second duration based on the first duration and the consumption rate. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
