Relates to collaborative power management. Embodiments are generally directed to managing power consumption of powered devices. In some embodiments, powered devices draw power from a common source of power, which is limited. In certain cases, exceeding the power limit may cause a disruption in power of one or more of the devices, thus introducing a source of communication failure. To ensure reliable communication, an attempt to increase the power consumption of a first powered device in a power group is first evaluated to determine whether the increase will cause the supplied power of the group to exceed the maximum power of the group. In some cases, if the increase will cause the maximum power to be exceeded, the increase is modified to fit within the maximum power level. Alternatively, the power consumption of lower priority devices is reduced to accommodate the requested increase in power consumption. 涉及协作式功率管理。实施例一般针对管理受电设备的功率消耗。在一些实施例中，受电设备从共同的功率的源汲取功率，该功率源是受限制的。在一定的情形下，超过功率极限可以引起设备中的一个或多个设备的功率的中断，因此引入通信
