Abstract
Systems and methods for managing use of power of a wireless communication device configured to communicate over a plurality of radio links. A criterion is detected, and one of the plurality of radio links is selected as a selected radio link based on detecting the criterion. Operation of the selected radio link is switched from a first operating mode to a second operating mode, and operation of one or more remaining radio links of the plurality of radio links is disabled. In response to switching operation of the selected radio link to the second operating mode, the selected radio link oscillates between an awake state and an asleep state. Radio traffic information for the plurality of radio links is received, via the selected radio link, during the awake state.
