Abstract
An idle universal serial bus (“USB”) is placed into a low power mode. During low power mode, peripherals attached to the USB bus may also enter a low power mode. While in this low power mode, USB attached peripherals may retain some functionality. For example, a USB attached modem may remain connected, allowing rapid resumption of communications upon awakening.
