Abstract
A system and method for power control in a physical layer device. Energy savings during an active state can be produced through the monitoring of a received signal level by a receiver in a physical layer device. In one embodiment, based on an indication of the received signal level or other communication characteristic of the transmission medium, a control module can adjust the signal level or amplitude and/or adjust the voltage supply.
