METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REDUCING THE ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION ASSOCIATED WITH A COMMUNICATION LINE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for reducing the electricity consumption associated with a communication line (LA) including a predetermined set of N power carriers suitable for transmitting information to a receiver device (TA). According to the invention, said method is suitable for determining a first and second group respectively including at least one carrier of the set N; determining a volume of information to be transmitted over the N carriers during a unit of time; and, if the predetermined volume is lower than a predetermined threshold, attributing a power that is lower than the predetermined power to the carriers of the second group, the power of the carriers of the first group being maintained. The invention also relates to a device (D) implementing the method for reducing electricity consumption.
