1. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- determining, using a real-time clock (RTC) included in a microcontroller, that a modem module, included in a low power wide area module, is to exit a power saving mode;
instructing a load switch to connect the modem module to a battery of the UE based at least in part on the determination; and
instructing the modem module to exit the power saving mode based at least in part on the determination.
