Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of first embodiment of the communication system 100 of may command power consumption of the present invention.Communication system 100 comprises first network equipment 1100 and second network equipment 1200 as shown in Figure 1.First network equipment 1100 comprises (but being not limited to) first receiver 110, first conveyer 120, first is checked module 130, first signal transmitting module 140 and the first transfer capability adjusting module 150.Second network equipment 1200 comprises (but being not limited to) second conveyer 160, second receiver 170, second is checked module 180, secondary signal sending module 190 and the second transfer capability adjusting module 195.Wherein, first checks that module 130 is used for checking the receiving ability of first receiver 110 of first network equipment 1100, and produces the first check result RS11.First signal transmitting module 140 optionally produces a notification signal according to the first check result RS11.195 transfer capabilities of adjusting second conveyer 160 of second network equipment 1200 according to this notification signal of the second transfer capability adjusting module.On the other hand, second checks the receiving ability of second receiver 170 of module 180 meeting inspections second network equipment 1200, and produces the first check result RS12.Secondary signal sending module 190 can optionally produce a notification signal according to the first check result RS12.150 transfer capabilities of adjusting first conveyer 120 of first network equipment 1100 according to this notification signal of the first transfer capability adjusting module.
Next, give some instances to describe how the foundation first check result RS11 optionally notifies second network equipment 1200 to adjust the transfer capability of second conveyer 160.
In first example, communication system 100 is the 10M/100MBase-T system, and the first check result RS11 shows that the receiving ability of first network equipment 1100 is greater than the first critical value TH1.At this moment, first signal transmitting module 140 of first network equipment 1100 can send the first notification signal NS1 and notify second network equipment 1200.After second network equipment 1200 received the first notification signal NS1, the second transfer capability adjusting module 195 can directly downgrade the transfer capability of second conveyer 160.
In second example, communication system 100 is 1GBase-T system or 10Gbase-T system, and the first check result RS11 shows that the receiving ability of first network equipment 1100 is greater than the first critical value TH11.At this moment, first signal transmitting module 140 of first network equipment 1100 can send the first notification signal NS1 and notify second network equipment 1200.After second network equipment 1200 received the first notification signal NS1, the second transfer capability adjusting module 195 can downgrade the transfer capability of second conveyer 160.Because the transfer capability that downgrades second conveyer 160 can cause the receiving ability variation of second receiver 170, therefore second of second network equipment 1200 check that module 180 can downgrade after module 195 downgrades the transfer capability of second conveyer 160 at second transfer capability, the receiving ability of checking second receiver 170 is to produce the second check result RS22.Next, describe in two kinds of situation.The receiving ability that shows second receiver 170 as the second check result RS22 is during greater than the second critical value TH2, and secondary signal sending module 190 can send the second notification signal NS2 and notify first network equipment 1100 can continue to downgrade the transfer capability of second conveyer 160; Otherwise, when the second check result RS22 showed that the receiving ability of second receiver 170 is not more than the second critical value TH2, secondary signal sending module 190 can send the 3rd notice signal NS3 and notify first network equipment 1100 not allow to continue to downgrade the transfer capability of second conveyer 160.
