Abstract
A bias current utilized in a unit of a radio frequency (RF) receiver device of a network interface is controlled. A modulation scheme utilized in a packet being received by the network interface is determined. It is determined, based on the determined modulation scheme, whether a level of the bias current should be changed. When it is determined that the level of the bias current should be changed, a control signal to change the level of the bias current is generated.
