Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to instructing, from a layer of a modem processor, a host processor to utilize an increased power consumption state for processing data from a network node. The instructing can be performed based on transmitting a signal to the network node and/or receiving signals from the network node, and at a time that allows the host processor to wake up before receiving data from the modem processor for processing.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer programs are disclosed for processing wireless download data in a portable communication device. An embodiment of a method comprises a wireless communication processor receiving incoming packet data via a wireless communication network. The wireless communication processor generates and inserts burst metadata into a burst of packets comprising a portion of the incoming packet data. The burst metadata specifies one or more workload parameters associated with the burst of packets. The wireless communication processor transmits the burst metadata and the burst of packets to a central processing unit (CPU). The CPU initiates an adjustment of an operating parameter for processing the burst of packets in accordance with the one or more workload parameters in the burst metadata.
