Tuning Networks and User Equipment Using a Power Profile

A computer storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• generating a power profile for a communication device, wherein the power profile indicates a type of power source that is associated with the communication device and a content type priority that is associated with the communication device;
• generating a registration message that comprises power profile data that is based on the power profile;
• sending the registration message to a communications network to request registration with the communications network;
• receiving a tuning message that indicates a tuning to be used for communications with the communications network, wherein the tuning is based on the power profile data;
• and
• tuning the communication device to communicate with the communications network based on the tuning message.

A method comprising:

• generating, by a processor that executes a power management application, a power profile for a communication device, wherein the power profile indicates a type of power source that is associated with the communication device and a content type priority that is associated with the communication device;
• generating, by the processor, a registration message that comprises power profile data that is based on the power profile;
• sending, by the processor, the registration message to a communications network to request registration of the communication device with the communications network;
• receiving, by the processor, a tuning message that indicates a tuning to be used for communications with the communications network, wherein the tuning is based on the power profile data;
• and
• turning, by the processor, the communication device to communicate with the communications network based on the tuning message.
