Cellular communications system providing mobile cellular device battery saving features based upon a stepped down attempt rate and related methods

摘要

A cellular communications system may include at least one base station and at least one mobile cellular communications device. More particularly, the at least one mobile cellular communications device may include a wireless transceiver and a controller for cooperating therewith for attempting to establish a wireless communications link with the at least one base station. If the wireless communications link cannot be established, then the controller continues to attempt to establish the wireless communications link at an attempt rate that successively decreases after each unsuccessful attempt.
