Assignee: ITRON, INC.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
determining, by an electronic device, a coverage enhancement (CE) parameter associated with a link between the electronic device and a base station for a first point in time;
determining, by the electronic device, a signaling metric threshold based on at least one of a communication protocol used by the electronic device, a type of modem included in the electronic device that is used to establish the link, or a type of the electronic device;
determining, by the electronic device and based on the CE parameter, that a signaling metric associated with the link for the first point in time is equal to or below the signaling metric threshold; and
in response to determining that the signaling metric is equal to or below the signaling metric threshold, placing the modem into a lower-power mode until a second point in time that is later than the first point in time.
