Abstract:

Embodiments may include systems and methods for communication including a communication port with a first lane and a second lane, a first power controller and a second power controller coupled to the communication port. The first power controller is to control, at a first time instance, the first lane to operate in a first power state selected from a first set of power states for the first lane. The second power controller is to control, at a second time instance, the second lane to operate in a second power state selected from a second set of power states for the second lane, wherein the first power state is different from the second power state. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
