Power Saving Method And Related Communication Device
First Claim
1. A power saving method for a mobile device in a wireless communication system, the power saving method comprising:
- obtaining a first parameter according to a first signal transmitted between the mobile device and a first network;
estimating a first power consumption of the mobile device in the first network according to the first parameter and a first radio access technology (RAT) employed in the first network;
determining whether the first network is suitable according to at least a comparison of the first power consumption with a second power consumption of the mobile device in a second network, wherein the second network employs a second RAT different from the first RAT; and
switching to the second network when the first network is not suitable.
