SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING CURRENT TO CERTAIN COMPONENTS OF A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

A method may include: determining a signal strength of a signal in a receive path of a wireless communication element, the receive path configured to receive a wireless communication signal and convert the wireless communication signal into a digital signal based at least on an oscillator signal; selecting a current mode from at least one of a first current mode and a second current mode for the wireless communication element based at least on the signal strength; communicating a control signal to the receive path indicative of the current mode; modifying one or more operational parameters of the receive path such that the receive path consumes a different amount of current in each of the current modes.
