Abstract
Intelligent thermal and power management in a wireless communications device in a wireless communications system (WCS) is disclosed. In a non-limiting example, the wireless communications device can be a base station (e.g., eNB) in the WCS. The wireless communications device includes a number of sensor circuits each configured to perform a sensory measurement (e.g., temperature measurement) in a specific circuit or at a specific location of the wireless communications device. A control circuit is provided in the wireless communications device support intelligent thermal and power management in the wireless communications device. Specifically, the control circuit determines that the sensory measurement is above an abnormal threshold(s) and performs one or more corrective actions accordingly to reduce the sensory measurement to a desirable threshold. By employing intelligent thermal and power management in the wireless communications device, it is possible to improve performance and reduce size of the wireless communications device.
