Method of Operating a Communication Device Operable in an Active Mode and in an Idle Mode, a Computer Program Product for Executing the Method, and the Communication Device Operable in an Active Mode and in an Idle Mode

摘要

A method of operating a communication device comprises providing the communication device (T, T1-T5) with a first interface (I1) to connect to a first network (N1), which provides a first bandwidth and a first network idle power consumption at the communication device (T, T1-T5) when being connected to the first network (N1) and providing the communication device (T, T1-T5) with a second interface (I2) to connect to a second wireless network (N2), which provides a second bandwidth, which is smaller than the first bandwidth, and a second network idle power, consumption, which is smaller than the first idle power consumption, at the communication device (T, T1-T5), when being connected to the second wireless network (N2).
