Abstract
An apparatus and a method for controlling power consumption in a system having a plurality of modems are provided. In the method, whether an interrupt is generated in each modem is detected. An amount of current consumption of the system at a processing point of the generated interrupt is determined. The amount of current consumption of the system is compared with a threshold, so that the processing point of the generated interrupt is controlled.
