Abstract
Modem thermal management may include a state machine monitoring a temperature associated with a modem, setting a mode in response to detection of a change in the temperature with respect to a threshold, and applying a set of one or more thermal mitigation actions associated with a current state of the state machine. The state machine may set a timer in response to detection of the change in temperature and then transition from the current state to another state in response to expiration of the timer. The monitored temperature may be a junction temperature or a skin temperature.
Claims30
A method for modem thermal management, comprising:
- monitoring a temperature associated with a modem;
- setting a mode of a state machine in response to detection of a change in the temperature with respect to a threshold;
- and
- applying a set of one or more thermal mitigation actions associated with a current state of the state machine.
A system for modem thermal management comprising:
- at least one thermal sensor;
- and
- a state machine configured to control:
- monitoring a temperature associated with a modem;
- setting a mode of a state machine in response to detection of a change in the temperature with respect to a threshold;
- and
- applying a set of one or more thermal mitigation actions associated with a current state of the state machine.
A system for modem thermal management, comprising:
- means for monitoring a temperature associated with a modem;
- means for setting a mode of a state machine in response to detection of a change in the temperature with respect to a threshold;
- and
- means for applying a set of one or more thermal mitigation actions associated with a current state of the state machine.
