System and method for providing power-save operation in an in-home communication network |
摘要 |
A first device of a multimedia over coax alliance (MoCA) network may grant a second device of the MoCA network permission to enter a power-saving state. While the second device is in the power-saving mode, the first device may grant bandwidth to the second device during one or more predetermined timeslots. The bandwidth may be granted without a corresponding reservation request from the second device. While the second device is in the power-saving state, it may track time utilizing a clock that is synchronized to the system time of the MoCA network, and transmit during one or more of the predetermined timeslots without first transmitting a corresponding reservation request. The second device may utilize a first modulation profile when not operating in the power-saving state, and utilize a second modulation profile when operating in the power-saving state. |

1. A method comprising:
in a first device of a multimedia over coax alliance (MoCA) network:
granting a second device of said MoCA network permission to operate in a power-saving mode; andgranting bandwidth to said second device during one or more predetermined timeslots for utilization by said second device while operating in said power-saving mode, wherein said bandwidth is granted without a corresponding reservation request from said second device, wherein a duration of said predetermined timeslots is determined based on a type of data to be communicated to and/or from said second device. |
