Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for conserving resources of a wireless communication device (WCD). A WCD may be configured to operate in one of two modes while in communication with the RAN. In a high-power mode, the WCD operates with a filtering component having a first filtering bandwidth. The first a filtering bandwidth generally enables the WCD to provide high quality audio signals based on a first audio bandwidth of an audio codec. In a low-power mode, the WCD operates with the filtering component having a second filtering bandwidth. The second filtering bandwidth enables the WCD to provide a lower quality audio signal based on a second audio bandwidth having a narrower audio bandwidth than the first audio bandwidth.
