ADVANCED THERMAL CONTROL ALGORITHM

摘要

A method implemented on a mobile device that starts by receiving a temperature reading from a sensor included on the mobile device. The temperature reading is compared to a threshold temperature and a power cap is set when the temperature reading is greater than the threshold temperature. The power cap is a maximum transmission power of the mobile device. The method then determines if the mobile device is transmitting a critical message. The power cap is released for a period of time if the power cap is set and the mobile device is determined to be sending a critical message. Other embodiments are also described.

1. A method implemented in a mobile device including an application processor and a baseband, the method comprising:
receiving by the application processor a temperature reading from a sensor included on the mobile device; comparing the temperature reading to a threshold temperature; sending a power cap setting message to set a power cap when the temperature reading is greater than the threshold temperature, wherein the power cap is a maximum transmission power of the mobile device; and sending a power cap release message to release the power cap for at least a period of time if (i) the power cap is set and (ii) a feedback message is received, the feedback message indicating that the mobile device is transmitting a critical message.
