Abstract
A communications system includes an xDSL communications device coupled to customer premises equipment via an xDSL link. The communications device trains the link, determines an available bandwidth for downstream communications, allocates a portion of the available bandwidth based on provisioned parameters of the link, and adjusts operational characteristics of a line driver to reduce the power consumption of the communications device.
