Abstract
A wireless communication device for thermal mitigation with multiple processors is described. The wireless communication device includes a first communications processor that processes a data call. The wireless communication device also includes a second communications processor coupled to the first communications processor. The first communications processor performs a thermal mitigation operation by sending instructions to the second communications processor when at least one thermal threshold is reached. The second communications processor receives and executes the instructions.
Claims50
A wireless communication device for thermal mitigation with multiple processors, comprising:
- a first communications processor that processes a data call in accordance with a first radio access technology;
- and
- a second communications processor coupled to the first communications processor,
- wherein the first communications processor performs a thermal mitigation operation by sending instructions and session information associated with the data call to the second communications processor when at least one thermal threshold is reached,
- wherein the second communications processor receives and executes the instructions,
- wherein the instructions comprise instructions to transfer the data call to the second communications processor and to process the data call in accordance with a second radio access technology, and
- wherein the session information enables the second communications processor to manage the data call.
A method for thermal mitigation with multiple processors, comprising:
- processing a data call by a first communications processor in accordance with a first radio access technology;
- performing a thermal mitigation operation, by the first communications processor, by sending instructions and session information associated with the data call to a second communications processor when at least one thermal threshold is reached, wherein the instructions comprise instructions to transfer the data call to the second communications processor and to process the data call in accordance with a second radio access technology, and wherein the session information enables the second communications processor to manage the data call;
- and
- receiving and executing the instructions at the second communications processor.
A non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium having instructions thereon, the instructions comprising:
- code for causing a wireless communication device to process a data call in accordance with a first radio access technology,
- code for causing the wireless communication device to perform a thermal mitigation operation, by a first communications processor, by sending second instructions and session information associated with the data call to a second communications processor when at least one thermal threshold is reached, wherein the second instructions comprise instructions to transfer the data call to the second communications processor and to process the data call in accordance with a second radio access technology, and wherein the session information enables the second communications processor to manage the data call;
- and
- code for causing the wireless communication device to receive and execute the instructions at the second communications processor.
An apparatus for thermal mitigation, comprising:
- a first processing means for processing a data call in accordance with a first radio access technology and for performing a thermal mitigation operation by sending instructions and session information associated with the data call when at least one thermal threshold is reached;
- and
- a second processing means for receiving and executing the instructions, wherein the instructions comprise instructions for transferring the data call to the second processing means and for processing the data call in accordance with a second radio access technology, wherein the session information enables the second processing means to manage the data call.
