Optimized resource management in multi-radio access technology devices

摘要

Methods and systems are described herein for adaptively adjusting the power level of a wireless transceiver and a cellular transceiver in a telecommunications device to correspond to the usage and data throughput of the device. The device can also dynamically enter different modes of operation based at least in part on network activity data usage on a wireless data network provided by the telecommunications device. By controlling the power levels, the power usage of the device can be reduced in order to increase efficiency of battery usage.

1. A computer-implemented method for power management, the computer-implemented method comprising:
communicating, by a mobile device, with a cellular network via a cellular transceiver; communicating, by a mobile device, with at least one client device via a wireless data network, wherein access to the wireless data network is provided by the mobile device via a wireless transceiver, wherein the wireless data network is a non-cellular network, wherein data is communicated between the cellular network and the wireless data network via the mobile device; determining a cellular condition of the mobile device associated with communication between the mobile device and the cellular network; determining a cellular network data rate for the mobile device based at least in part on the cellular condition, wherein the cellular network data rate is between the mobile device and the cellular network; determining a wireless data network data rate of the at least one client device communicating with the mobile device, wherein the wireless network data rate is between the mobile device and the at least one client device over the wireless data network; comparing the cellular network data rate with the wireless data network data rate; based on the determination that the cellular network data rate exceeds the wireless data network data rate,
determining a power level for the cellular transceiver corresponding the wireless data network data rate; andadjusting a cellular transceiver power level to the determined power level.
