Mobile device management based on predicted base station behavior

Abstract:

A mobile radio communication device may operate in a wireless communication network including at least one base station configured to transmit control information and content to the mobile radio communication device. The mobile radio communication device may receive a number of communications transmitted by a base station in a number of time frames. The communication device may analyze whether the communications from the base station include control information addressed to the communication device. Based on the analysis, the mobile radio communication device may automatically predict whether an communication transmitted by the base station in an time frame will include control information addressed to the communication device. Based on the prediction, the mobile radio communication device may manage the power consumption of at least one of its components during the time frame.
