Abstract
A method and article for reducing power consumption for isochronous data transfers are described. The method may include receiving packets of data having multimedia information with empty spaces. The packets of data may be stored in a first buffer having a first buffer size allocated for a universal serial bus processing stack. The empty spaces may be removed from the packets of data and the packets of data having the empty spaces removed may be copied to a second buffer having a second buffer size allocated for a media information processing stack. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
