1. A method for maintaining at least a threshold quality of service (QOS) for a wireless communication conducted by wireless circuitry in a mobile device, wherein the mobile device is operatively coupled to a charging device comprising a circuit capable of generating electromagnetic interference (EMI) that adversely affects a QOS of the wireless communication, the method comprising:

  • at the mobile device;

    determining the QOS for the wireless communication conducted by the wireless circuitry, wherein the wireless communication comprises a phone call or cellular data transmission;

    determining a state of charge (SOC) of a battery of the mobile device; and

    when the SOC of the battery is at or above a low-battery threshold SOC and the QOS is less than a threshold QOS, sending a throttling signal to the circuit of the charging device, wherein the throttling signal causes the circuit to reduce an amount of EMI generated.
