Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices are described for power saving techniques in mobile devices. A signal quality metric of a received wireless signal may be monitored. A determination is made when the signal quality metric exceeds a threshold quality level for a time period. A subset of the signal processing functionality may be de-activated responsive to the determination. There may be different thresholds depending on whether the mobile device is in idle or connected mode. There may also be different thresholds for various signal processing algorithms.
