  • Systems, methods, and computer program products for dynamically adjusting the paging channel monitoring frequency of a mobile terminal based on the operating environment
    Patent number: 6560453
    Abstract: A paging channel may be monitored for incoming calls to a mobile terminal by determining a current operating environment of the mobile terminal and then adjusting the paging channel monitoring frequency based on the current operating environment. Realizing that decreased power consumption may be preferred to improved responsiveness to incoming calls in some operating environments while improved responsiveness to incoming calls may be preferred to decreased power consumption in other operating environments, a mobile terminal may dynamically balance responsiveness to incoming calls with power consumption in accordance with its operating environment rather than being limited to a static or semi-static balance between the two performance criteria.
