Abstract: Described is a method for regulating power consumption during page scanning operations in a Bluetooth enabled communication device (102) having a power source (118) and a processor (120) that is configured to communicate according to a plurality of page scanning intervals. The method include assessing trigger events (304, 306) to dynamically adjust page scanning interval output values (308) and accordingly adjusting a power consumption level in accordance with the page scanning interval output values. The variable page scanning intervals change from idle, slow and fast according to their type.

Abstract: A communication device (100) includes a first communication means (140) for operating in a first operating mode; a second communication means (110, 130) for operating in a second operating mode; and an operation control manager (150) coupled between the first communication means (140) and the second communication means (110, 130). The operation control manager (150) is adapted to detect a performance impact in the second communication means (110, 130); and modify the first communication means (140) to reduce the performance impact.
