The PHY which initiated the sleep (locally initiated), transitions from Normal to Sleep Request state. When the PHY transitions to Sleep Request, a timer of 16 ms (sleep_req_timer) is initialized and LPS symbols are transmitted (at least 64 bits). The PHY then waits for the link partner to send back the LPS symbols. After LPS symbols are received back from the link partner, the PHY transitions to Sleep Silent state. In case the LPS symbols aren’t received before sleep_req_timer lapses, the PHY transitions to Sleep Fail state.
The PHY for which sleep is initiated remotely, the PHY transitions from Normal to Sleep ACK to Sleep Request provided the MAC chose not to abort the sleep. When the PHY transitions to Sleep Request, a timer of 16 ms (sleep_req_timer) is initialized and LPS symbols are transmitted (at least 64 bits). After LPS symbols are transmitted, the PHY transitions to Sleep Silent state.
