DYNAMIC POWER CLASS RE-REGISTRATION OF MOBILE DEVICES

摘要

Dynamic power class re-registration of wireless devices is provided. A wireless device can exchange data with a communications network. While exchanging data, the device can monitor its usage and based on the usage, generate a power change request. The device can then send the power change request to the communications network, prior to or in conjunction with powering down the device. In this regard, the communications network can receive the power change request, generate instructions for the wireless device, and adjust network resources based on the power change request. The instructions can then be sent to the wireless device. Since the device re-registers its power class with the communications network, handoffs, internetwork thresholds, network resources and other network parameters can be adjusted to compensate for the changed power class resulting into improved service for a user of the wireless device.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
determining, by a mobile device comprising a processor, whether a specific absorption rate associated with the mobile device satisfies a defined condition with respect to radio frequency energy emitted by the mobile device; in response to determining that the specific absorption rate satisfies the defined condition, generating, by the mobile device, power class registration data with respect to a change of a power class registration of the mobile device; and sending, by the mobile device, the power class registration data directed to a network device.
