Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to signaling for transitions between modes of data transmission. A embodiment of a method includes transmitting a data stream over a data link from a first device to a second device, the data stream operating in a first mode; determining that the data stream is to be changed from the first mode to a second mode; and transmitting a message from the first device to the receiver over a control link, the message indicating that the first device will change the data stream from the first mode to the second mode, the message being sent prior to the change to the second mode.
