Methods and devices for power-aware data synchronization in wireless devices
First Claim
1. A communication device comprising:
- a memory;
a modem configured for initiating an initial communication in response to a data pull communication event or a data push communication event; and
a controller operatively connected to the memory and to the modem and configured for;
determining a measured network condition value associated with transmitting the initial communication;
determining a power consumption value of the initial communication based on the measured network condition value processed by monitoring the modem;
comparing the power consumption value with a predetermined power consumption value stored in the memory related to a predetermined acceptable measured network condition value for this type of communication event; and
if the power consumption value exceeds the predetermined power consumption value, then either;
terminating the communication;
orgenerating a user notification with a query as to whether to proceed with the communication.

Abstract
Disclosed are devices and methods of a communication device including initiating an initial communication via a modem in response to a data pull communication event or a data push communication event and determining by the controller a measured network condition associated with transmitting the initial communication as well as determining by the controller the power consumption of the initial communication based on a measured network condition value processed by monitoring the modem. Methods of a communication device further include comparing the power consumption value with a predetermined power consumption value stored in the memory related to a predetermined acceptable measured network condition value for this type of communication event, and terminating by the controller, the communication when the power consumption value exceeds the predetermined power consumption value based upon the acceptable measured network condition value for this type of communication event.
