Systems and methods are described for reducing processing time of messages that are repeatedly received, with increasing frequency, by a device (e.g., user equipment, base station etc.). For example, the systems and methods would have a base station decrease power, possibly to minimum power-out, per policy, if messages beyond the original are received and the time between those messages is decreasing. The decrease in time between messages indicates a more urgent need for the base station to power down. The systems and methods can be adapted for different types of messages (e.g., power-up, power-down, resource request, bandwidth request, service type, call type origination, quality-of-service request, application type, etc.). Each message type is associated with a policy (pre-determined or adaptive) that indicates the default behavior when the method detects a decrease in time between messages.

A method of operating a wireless communication device in a wireless communication network is disclosed. The wireless communication device transitions between a plurality of modes, wherein the plurality of modes further includes a sleep mode, wherein the wireless communication device does not listen for downlink data transmissions, and the plurality of modes further includes an active mode, wherein the wireless communication device listens for downlink data transmissions. While the wireless communication device is operating in the active mode, it receives control signalling from a transmitter to adjust a length of time for transitioning between a first mode among the plurality of modes and a second mode among the plurality of modes based on one or more sleep rules. The wireless communication device transitions from the first mode to the second mode based, at least in part, on the adjusted length of time.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for transmission power prioritization. One apparatus includes a processor coupled to a memory and a transceiver, where the processor is configured to identify a first pending transmission corresponding to a non-supplementary uplink carrier; identify a second pending transmission corresponding to a supplementary uplink carrier, wherein the first and second pending transmissions at least partially overlap in time; prioritize power allocation to the non-supplementary uplink carrier in response to the non-supplementary uplink carrier being configured to transmit a PUCCH; prioritize power allocation to the supplementary uplink carrier in response to the supplementary uplink carrier being configured to transmit the PUCCH; and prioritize power allocation to the non-supplementary uplink carrier in response to neither the supplementary uplink carrier nor the non-supplementary uplink carrier being configured to transmit the PUCCH.

An information handling system includes a radio connected to an antenna subsystem, and a proximity sensor configured to detect a proximity of a user to the antenna subsystem. An antenna controller may identify an antenna physical configuration of an antenna subsystem, retrieve a power table corresponding to the antenna physical configuration, transmit the power table to the radio via a direct communication interface between the antenna controller and the radio, and communicate a message to the radio, the message in response to the proximity of the user to the antenna subsystem. The radio may set a radio transmit power level in response to the message.

Some techniques and apparatuses described herein permit a user equipment (UE) to transition among different power configurations, which include different values for different power parameters, that impact an amount of power consumed by the UE. In some aspects, these transitions may be signaled by a base station based at least in part on traffic volume for the UE, which may assist with improving throughput and/or extending battery life of the UE. Furthermore, these transitions may be signaled dynamically, such as in downlink control information (DCI) and/or a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) MAC-CE, which may conserve battery power and/or network resources as compared to reconfiguring the UE using an RRC message, and which may allow the UE to be reconfigured quickly as conditions associated with the UE change.
