  • Patent number: 10886961
    Abstract: Dynamic power class re-registration of wireless devices is provided. A wireless device can exchange data with a communications network. While exchanging data, the device can monitor its usage and based on the usage, generate a power change request. The device can then send the power change request to the communications network, prior to or in conjunction with powering down the device. In this regard, the communications network can receive the power change request, generate instructions for the wireless device, and adjust network resources based on the power change request. The instructions can then be sent to the wireless device. Since the device re-registers its power class with the communications network, handoffs, internetwork thresholds, network resources and other network parameters can be adjusted to compensate for the changed power class resulting into improved service for a user of the wireless device.

  • Publication number: 20160309487
    Abstract: Facilitation of adaptive traffic flow management by a power-limited device during uplink-limited conditions is provided. A method can include: detecting that power emitted from the device satisfies a first defined condition; evaluating a defined characteristic of a network with which the device is associated and an application being executed by the device, wherein the evaluating is in response to the detecting; and determining whether to transmit information to the network to cause the device to be transferred by the network, wherein transferring is from a first wireless communication system to a second wireless communication system, and wherein the determining is performed based on the evaluating. In various embodiments, the first wireless communication system can be a long-term evolution system and the second wireless communication system can be a universal mobile telecommunications system.

  • Publication number: 20140148211
    Abstract: Adaptive layer selection by a power limited device is provided by reducing a transmit power level of a mobile device by a predefined value as a result of detecting an event associated with a change to the transmit power level. A received signal level of a signal received from a network element is measured as signal level data. The signal level data representing the received signal level is modified based on the predefined value to obtain modified signal level data representing the received signal level as modified. The modified signal level data is reported to the network element.
