Abstract
Low-power idle mode for network transceivers. In one aspect, a method for reducing power consumption of a transceiver connected to a communication network includes entering a low-power idle mode, and in this mode, repeatedly turning off a transmitter of the transceiver and turning on the transmitter according to a pattern, where the pattern has been customized based on characteristics of the receiver. Turning off the transmitter conserves power consumed by the transceiver.
