1. A method of operating a multicarrier transceiver having a sleep mode capability, the method comprising:
- placing at least one component of a first multicarrier transceiver in a sleep mode;
storing at least one parameter representative of a full power mode of the at least one component of the first multicarrier transceiver;
maintaining synchronization between the first multicarrier transceiver and a second multicarrier transceiver using a synchronization signal while the at least one component of the first multicarrier transceiver is in the sleep mode;
using the at least one stored parameter, for transmission or reception, in response to a signal to awaken from the sleep mode; and
restoring the at least one component of the first multicarrier transceiver from the sleep mode to the full power mode, without needing to reinitialize the first multicarrier transceiver, by using the at least one recovered parameter, wherein the transceiver is used for communications over an internet.

Abstract
A multicarrier transceiver is provided with a sleep mode in which it idles with reduced power consumption when it is not needed to transmit or receive data. The full transmission and reception capabilities of the transceiver are quickly restored when needed, without requiring the full (and time-consuming) initialization commonly needed to restore such transceivers to operation after inactivity.
