Described herein are architectures, platforms and methods for implementing scalable power in a wireless device. Multiple radio access technology architectures running different operating clock frequencies are supported by providing a scaled static clock frequency and dynamic clock frequencies by dynamically switching parallel paths of processing resources.

Streaming content using a data streaming device having limited power is described. A data streaming device receives streaming content from a network and provides the streaming content for display on a content display device. Data streaming device includes power supplies that receive power from the content display device. The power supplies use the power to operate components of data streaming device that process the streaming content. A measuring module measures the power provided to the data streaming device. When the power is insufficient, a controller generates an indication that there is insufficient power to operate the components of the data streaming device. The controller may also modify functionality of the components to operate using available power or disable a component of the data streaming device.

A communication device is described comprising a receiver configured to receive data comprising information representing a required quality of service of the transmission of the data, hardware resources configured to perform a processing of the data and a controller configured to set a speed of the processing of the data by the hardware resources based on the determined required quality of service.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication in a user equipment (UE) are described in which a cycle duration of an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) cycle is determined. The UE enters a sleep state of the eDRX cycle and, based on the determination of the cycle duration, uses a first clock as a timer during the sleep state and uses a second clock as a timing calibrator during the sleep state. The first clock may have a lower power consumption and a higher frequency error, and the second clock may have a higher power consumption and a lower frequency error.

A power consumption adjustment method includes: adjusting, based on state information of a processing unit, a time parameter corresponding to a power limit, determining power consumption of the processing unit based on an adjusted time parameter, and adjusting a frequency and a voltage of the processing unit based on the power consumption and the power limit of the processing unit. The time parameter corresponding to the power limit may be used to represent a time point at which an overclocking adjustment is performed on the processing unit.

A power management approach for a mobile device includes comparing a battery provided power supply voltage to a reference voltage in order to generate an alarm signal. In response to the alarm signal the frequency of an operating clock applied to a system-on-chip is changed.

Users are enabled to readily use desired applications.

A wireless communication device performs an inter-device wireless communication with another wireless communication device in accordance with the Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) Direct specification. This wireless communication device includes a transmitting unit. This transmitting unit incorporates information about the role of the wireless communication device into an action frame specified in the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) 802.11 specification, and then transmits the action frame.

A low-power radio-frequency (RF) receiver is characterized by a decreased current consumption over prior art RF receivers, such that the RF receiver may be used in control devices, such as battery-powered motorized window treatments and two-wire dimmer switches. The RF receiver uses an RF sub-sampling technique to check for the RF signals and then put the RF receiver to sleep for a sleep time that is longer than a packet length of a transmitted packet to thus conserve battery power and lengthen the lifetime of the batteries. The RF receiver compares detected RF energy to a detect threshold that may be increased to decrease the sensitivity of the RF receiver and increase the lifetime of the batteries. After detecting that an RF signal is being transmitted, the RF receiver is put to sleep for a snooze time period that is longer than the sleep time and just slightly shorter than the time between two consecutive transmitted packets to further conserve battery power.
