Energy management for wireless devices

A wireless device for transferring data in a wireless communication network, the wireless device comprising:

• one or more circuit components configured to support the data transfer;
• a processor configured to manage energy use of the one or more circuit components during the data transfer, wherein the processor is configured:
• to determine a data rate associated with the data transfer,
• to determine data processing requirements for processing data at the determined data rate, and
• to dynamically adjust, based on the determined requirements, one or more data processing parameters corresponding to the data transfer;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor.

A computer-readable storage medium comprising code, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations for managing energy usage of a wireless device during a data transfer in a wireless communication network, the computer-readable storage medium comprising:

• code for determining a data rate associated with the data transfer;
• code for determining data processing requirements for processing data at the determined data rate;
• and
• code for dynamically adjusting, based on the determined requirements, one or more data processing parameters corresponding to the data transfer.

A wireless device for transferring data in a wireless communication network, the wireless device comprising:

• one or more circuit component means for effectuating the data transfer;
• and
• power management means for managing energy use of the one or more circuit component means during the data transfer, the power management means comprising:
• means for determining a data rate associated with the data transfer, means for determining data processing requirements for processing data at the determined data rate, and
• means for dynamically adjusting, based on the determined requirements, one or more data processing parameters corresponding to the data transfer.
