ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus or system for generating a clock signal that includes determining a transmission frequency within a first frequency range for receiving or transmitting a data stream, locking a clock to the transmission frequency during a packet exchange and tuning the clock to one or more frequencies within a second frequency range after the packet exchange. The clock may be variably tuned to multiple frequencies within either the first or second range.
