1. A method comprising:
monitoring a signal conductor to determine when the signal conductor is conveying one or more signals;
determining a predicted amount of inactive time during which the signal conductor is predicted to remain in an inactive state based at least in part on one or more previous inactive time periods during which the signal conductor was not conveying any signals; and
causing the signal conductor to transition to an active state based at least in part on when the predicted amount of inactive time expires.
