Power savings for inter-radio access technology measurement

摘要

A user equipment may save power and improve performance by dynamically switching between a higher and lower clock speed based on the timing of inter-RAT measurement. When a user equipment (UE) is not performing an inter-RAT measurement, the UE uses a clock speed lower than the clock speed associated with inter-RAT measurements. This power saving mode associated with the lower clock speed implementation may be maintained as a default mode when the UE is not performing inter-RAT measurements. The UE may use the higher clock speed when a particular processor power is specified for inter-RAT measurement.

主权项

1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
determining when a user equipment (UE) is performing inter-radio access technology (RAT) measurement; operating the UE at a first clock speed during the inter-RAT measurement, in which the first clock speed is based at least in part on a RAT measured in the inter-RAT measurement; and operating the UE at a second clock speed lower than the first clock speed otherwise.
