Abstract:
1. A wireless communication device comprising: a power supply; a first interface coupled to the power supply and associated with a first operational mode and a second operational mode, wherein the first interface is configured to couple to a first access network; and a second interface coupled to the power supply and associated with a third operational mode, wherein the second interface is configured to couple to a second access network, wherein the wireless communication device is associated with an application having a response time requirement for initiating communication over the first access network or the second access network, wherein the first operational mode does not meets the response time requirement via the first interface, wherein the second operational mode meets the response time requirement via the first interface, wherein the third operational mode meets the response time requirement via the second interface, and wherein the wireless communication device is configured to consume less power using the first operational mode and the third operational mode than when using the second operational mode.
