Abstract
Methods and apparatus for wireless communication via a communication device (e.g, via a 1X Advanced enabled mobile device) are discussed. Embodiments can include calculating that a temperature associated with the mobile device has exceeded a thermal threshold. Aspects of the methods and apparatus include transmitting a guarantee frame, from each set of frames to be transmitted, when the temperature associated with a mobile device has exceeded the thermal threshold. Aspects of the methods and apparatus include determining that the temperature associated with a mobile device has fallen below the thermal threshold. Aspects of the methods and apparatus also include reactivating normal transmissions upon determining that the temperature associated with the mobile device has fallen below the thermal threshold. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
