ADAPTIVE OUT OF SERVICE SCAN FOR MODEM POWER OPTIMIZATION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method for adaptive out of service (OOS) scan for modem power optimization in a wireless communication system includes establishing, by a source wireless device, a direct communication connection to a target wireless device, requesting wireless communication system information to be sent from the target wireless device to the source wireless device, and activating an adaptive OOS scan on the target wireless device if the source wireless device and target wireless device are connected to the same wireless communication system and using the same radio access technology (RAT) based on the wireless communication system information. The method also includes instructing, by the source wireless device, the adaptive OOS scan on the target wireless device to pause the standard OOS scan when both the source wireless device and target wireless device are OOS.
