NETWORK-ASSISTED POWER CONSUMPTION REDUCTION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION TERMINAL

摘要

A method for wireless communication includes receiving in a wireless communication terminal, which is configured to receive and transmit signals using one or more transceiver chains, an instruction from a base station to modify electrical power consumption of the wireless communication terminal. In response to the instruction, the electrical power consumption is modified by performing one or more of: (i) modifying a number of the transceiver chains that are active and (ii) modifying a clock rate in the wireless communication terminal.
