Claim Text:
1. A method of power management in a wireless communication device, comprising: detecting a change in a serving cell for a terminal equipment (TE) from a first cell to a second cell; generating a cell change notification at a modem component in response to detecting a change in the serving cell from the first cell to the second cell; determining that the TE is in a low power state; detecting a first radio access technology (RAT) of the first cell and a second RAT of the second cell; determining that the second RAT is part of a same technology mode family as the first RAT, wherein each technology mode family includes identifies a family of one or more RATs that have similar communication parameters; suppressing a sending of the generated cell change notification from the modem component to a data processor associated with the TE based on a determination that the second RAT is part the same technology mode family as the first RAT and a determination that the TE is in the low power state; and maintaining the TE in the low power state in response to suppressing the sending of the generated cell change notification from the modem component to the data processor.
