20090158063 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DYNAMICALLY CONTROLLING POWER CONSUMPTION AND CONNECTION MODE OF NETWORK CARD - The invention provides a method and a device for dynamically control power consumption and a connection mode of a network card, which relates to a power saving technique for the network card. The method comprises steps of: monitoring a data transmission state in a network in real time, and obtaining a statistic value for the data transmission state in a current or a predetermined period; obtaining a target connection mode matching with the current data transmission based on the statistic value, and switching the connection mode of the network card to the target connection mode. In the embodiments of the present invention, when a network connection is established, it is not forced to a certain connection mode. The connection mode may be dynamically varied according to a load task by monitoring the data transmission state in the network and comparing with a switching condition. The connection mode may be dynamically switched among respective modes, so as to improve efficiency of the transmission bandwidth and implement an optimal dynamic match of the bandwidth/power consumption. | 06-18-2009 |
