Abstract
A method adapts scheduling priorities in a wireless communications system to conserve battery power in mobile terminals operating within the system. A base station, within the system, receives battery power level information and other setup information from mobile terminals operating within the service area of the base station during call setup procedures. Based on the battery power level information and other setup information, the base station adapts scheduling priorities for the mobile terminals to expedite wireless transmissions from those mobile terminals reporting low battery power levels.
