Abstract
Implementations of systems, methods and apparatus include aspects of resource conservation strategies that may be useful for a USB compliant device that experiences resource limitations over durations longer than contemplated by the USB standards. Implementations of systems, methods and apparatus disclosed herein enable a USB compliant device to selectively process interrupts and/or other overhead resulting from USB communications between a host and the device. By not processing some interrupts and/or other overhead, based in part on the current level of resource utilization, a device can free up resources needed to process relatively high data-rate incoming traffic from the host. In some implementations, when locally implemented techniques prove to be insufficient, the device may optionally request that the host reduce the data-rate on the downlink.
