Abstract

Techniques for reducing power consumption in a data communications network are described where a power consuming component in a receiving node has a default disabled state and must be changed to an enabled state to enable the power consuming component. The receiving node includes a resonator that sends an enable signal to enable the power consuming component when the resonator receives an enabling data pattern. The power consuming component remains disabled until the enabling data pattern is received by the resonator.
