Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for mitigating thermal increases in electronic devices. Example devices may include memory and at least one processor configured to access the memory and execute computer-executable instructions to determine that a temperature of the device satisfies a first threshold, send a notification to an access point communicatively coupled to the device indicating that the device will enter a sleep state for a length of time, and cause the device to enter the sleep state. Certain embodiments may be configured to cause the device to enter an awake state after the length of time, determine that the temperature satisfies a second threshold, and determine that a period of time has elapsed. Some embodiments may be configured to determine that a first bandwidth mode is active at the device, and cause a second bandwidth mode to be activated at the device.
