Patent number: 10886961Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignees: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P., AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Haywood Peitzer, Arthur Richard Brisebois, Steven A. Harbin, James Gordon Beattie, Jr., Richard J. Mountford

Publication number: 20140148211Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2012Publication date: May 29, 2014Applicant: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Richard J.
