Abstract

In a general aspect, the radio state of a wireless communication device is controlled. In some aspects, a first set of motion detection signals is processed by operation of a radio subsystem of a wireless communication device in a first radio state. An amount of variation in the first set of motion detection signals is determined based on values of a parameter of the motion detection signals. A counter is updated in response to a determination that the variation is greater than a first threshold, and the radio subsystem is changed to a second radio state based on comparing the value of the counter with a second threshold. A motion detection process is executed to detect motion of an object in the space based on a second set of motion detection signals processed by operation of the radio subsystem in the second radio state.
