1. A mobile communication device, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to communicate wireless signals;
an access point locator configured to identify an access point for providing the transceiver with access to a network;
a motion sensor; and
logic configured to determine an orientation of the mobile communication device based on the motion sensor and to control an activation state of the access point locator based on the determined orientation.

Abstract
A mobile communication device in accordance with an exemplary embodiment comprises a transceiver, a motion sensor, and logic. The transceiver is configured to communicate wireless signals. The logic is configured to perform a comparison of data from the motion sensor to data indicative of an expected flight path of the mobile communication device and to control an activation state of at least one component based on the comparison.
