Abstract
An apparatus may include a physical layer device, a detection circuitry and a power control circuitry. the physical layer device provides one or more functions of a physical layer to interface with a shared physical transmission medium. The detection circuitry detects an indication of power control signaling on the shared physical transmission medium, and detects an indication of Ethernet signaling on the shared physical transmission medium. The indication of power control signaling is different than the indication of Ethernet signaling. The power control circuitry manages a power state of the apparatus at least partially responsive to an output of the detection circuitry.
