Abstract
A battery-powered device includes a baseband modem, configured to receive or send data according to a first operational mode, wherein the data correspond to a software application being executed on the battery-powered device; and a processor, configured to determine a resource requirement of the software application; and send a signal representing the determined resource requirement to the baseband modem; wherein the baseband modem is further configured to change from the first operational mode to a second operational mode based on the signal.
Claims25
A battery-powered device, comprising:
- a baseband modem, configured to receive or send data according to a first operational mode, wherein the data correspond to a software application being executed on the battery-powered device;
- and
- a processor, configured to:
- determine a resource requirement of the software application;
- and
- send a signal representing the determined resource requirement to the baseband modem;
- wherein the baseband modem is further configured to change from the first operational mode to a second operational mode based on the signal.
A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising instructions which, if executed, would cause a processor to:
- wirelessly receive or wirelessly send data according to a first operational mode, wherein the data correspond to a software application being executed on a battery powered device;
- determining a resource requirement of the software application;
- and
- send a signal representing the determined resource requirement to a baseband modem;
- wherein the baseband modem is further configured to change from the first operational mode to a second operational mode based on the signal.
A baseband modem, configured to:
- send or receive data corresponding to an application operating on a device, according to a first operational mode;
- receive a signal from the device, the signal representing a resource requirement of the application;
- change operation from the first operational mode to a second operational mode based on the determined resource requirement.
A method of battery power management, comprising:
- wirelessly receiving or wirelessly sending data according to a first operational mode, wherein the data correspond to a software application being executed on a battery powered device;
- determining a resource requirement of the software application;
- and
- sending a signal representing the determined resource requirement to a baseband modem;
- wherein the baseband modem is further configured to change from the first operational mode to a second operational mode based on the signal.
