Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for managing power in a wireless network. According to certain aspects, when an access point (AP) is operating on multiple links, the AP may calculate a loading metric for each link and perform one or more power savings actions if the loading metrics for one or more of the links meets certain criteria.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for proactive power and performance management of workloads in a portable computing device (“PCD”), such as, but not limited to, a virtual reality (“VR”) or augmented reality (“AR”) workload. An exemplary embodiment determines that a target application (or an application queued for execution) is compatible with a proactive throttling policy. Advantageously, for those applications that are compatible with a proactive throttling policy, embodiments of the solution may rely on historical performance data of those applications to preset performance parameters such that the PCD may deliver a consistent user experience over time uninterrupted by fluctuations in processing performance resulting from reactive thermal throttling policies.
