Abstract
A first communication device performs a handshaking procedure with a second communication device, the handshaking procedure associated with transitioning from an active mode to a low power mode. The first communication device transmits data and/or idle symbols to the second communication device i) after completion of the handshake procedure, and ii) at least until the earlier of a) a time period expiring, and b) determining that the second communication device quieted a transmitter of the second communication device. The first communication device transitions to the low power mode in connection with the handshaking procedure.
