Mitigating a Power Condition Through Deactivation of High-Bandwidth Data Transmissions

A method for mitigating a power condition that is local to a user device, the user device using multi-connectivity technology to receive multiple data streams, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the user device and from a base station to which the user device is wirelessly connected, a first data stream transmitted by the base station via a first frequency band comprising a first set of resources available to the base station;
• receiving, by the user device and also from the base station, a second data stream transmitted by the base station via a second frequency band comprising a second set of resources available to the base station;
• determining, by the user device using detection circuitry of the user device, a local power condition during reception of the first and second data streams;
• and
• sending, by the user device and to the base station, a deactivation message, the deactivation message causing the base station to deactivate the transmission of the second data stream.

A user device comprising:

• a transceiver;
• detection circuitry;
• and
• a processor and computer-readable storage media comprising instructions to implement a power-condition manager application, the power-condition manager application configured to cause the user device to:
• receive, using multi-connectivity technology and through the transceiver, a first data stream and a second data stream;
• determine, using the detection circuitry and during reception of the first and second data streams, a power condition that is local to the user device;
• send, to a source of the second data stream, a deactivation message, the deactivation message causing the source to deactivate transmission of the second data stream.
