  • Method for controlling standby operations compatible with a plurality of wireless communication systems and method for performing operations compatible with a plurality of wireless communication systems
    Patent number: 8615276
    Abstract: A radio unit and a baseband processing unit perform wireless communications with a plurality of base station apparatuses compatible with a plurality of wireless communication schemes, respectively. A battery remaining amount management unit inspects a remaining amount of battery to be supplied to the radio unit and the like. A control unit controls standby operations that the radio unit and the baseband processing unit are to perform on the plurality of wireless communication schemes, based on the remaining amount of battery inspected by the battery remaining amount management unit. The control unit defines degrees of priority for the plurality of wireless communication schemes, respectively. As the remaining amount of battery becomes low, the control unit sets long a time interval of the standby operation for a base station compatible with a wireless communication scheme having a low degree of priority.
