Patent ID: 11917537
Assignee: APPLE INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G  Y | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A processor of a user equipment (UE) comprising processing circuitry configured to:
monitor a temperature of the UE via one or more temperature sensors and a power usage of the UE;
determine a power status of the UE based at least in part on the temperature of the UE and the power usage of the UE;
select, based at least in part on the determined power status, a power management stage of a plurality of power management stages; and
implement one or more power management techniques associated with the selected power management stage,
wherein the plurality of power management stages includes a first stage corresponding to normal operation with default power management techniques, a second stage configured to reduce power consumption compared to the first stage, and a third stage configured to further reduce power consumption compared to the second stage,
wherein the one or more power management techniques corresponding to the second stage or the third stage-comprise power reducing techniques within one Radio Access Technology (RAT),
wherein the UE is concurrently connected to two or more RATs, and
wherein the plurality of power management stages further includes a fourth stage, the one or more power management techniques corresponding to the fourth stage comprising deactivating a RAT of the two or more RATs to further reduce power compared to the third stage.
