Abstract

Facilitation of adaptive traffic flow management by a power-limited device during uplink-limited conditions is provided. A method can include: detecting that power emitted from the device satisfies a first defined condition; evaluating a defined characteristic of a network with which the device is associated and an application being executed by the device, wherein the evaluating is in response to the detecting; and determining whether to transmit information to the network to cause the device to be transferred by the network, wherein transferring is from a first wireless communication system to a second wireless communication system, and wherein the determining is performed based on the evaluating. In various embodiments, the first wireless communication system can be a long-term evolution system and the second wireless communication system can be a universal mobile telecommunications system.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 determining, by a device comprising a processor, a location of the device relative to a region of regions of a body of a user of the device; and   reducing, by the device, a radio frequency power emitted from the device to a reduced radio frequency power determined to satisfy a first condition, wherein the reducing is based on the location of the device relative to the region.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 detecting, by the device, that the location of the device is within a defined proximity to an edge device associated with a cell device with which the device is associated.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 determining, by the device, whether an application being executed by the device is designated as an application of a type; and   determining, by the device, whether a characteristic of the network satisfies a second condition.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 determining, by the device, whether to transmit information to a network device of the network with which the device is associated.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the determining whether to transmit the information comprises:
 determining not to transmit the information based on the application being executed being determined to be designated as the application of the type.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 selectively bundling, by the device, the information as bundled information to be transmitted by the device, based on the determining not to transmit the information; and   updating, by the device, an operation to an idle mode operation based on the selectively bundling.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising:
 changing, by the device, the operation to an active mode operation based on the characteristic of the network being determined to satisfy the second condition; and   transmitting, by the device, the bundled information to the network device of the network.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the determining whether to transmit the information comprises:
 determining to transmit the information based on determining that the application being executed is a first type of application.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the information comprises indicator information indicating that the reduced power emitted from the device satisfies the first condition, and further comprising:
 transmitting, by the device to the network device, the indicator information indicating that the reduced power emitted from the device satisfies the first condition, wherein the transmitting is in response to the determining to transmit the information.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the determining whether to transmit the information comprises:
 determining to transmit the information based on determining that the characteristic of the network fails to satisfy the second condition.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 transmitting, by the device to the network device of the network, indicator information indicating that the reduced power emitted from the device is less than an amount of power that satisfies the first condition, wherein the transmitting is in response to the determining to transmit the information.   
     
     
         12 . A system, comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 performing selective bundling of information to be transmitted from the system; and 
 responsive to the selective bundling, reducing a radio frequency power emitted by the system, resulting in a reduced radio frequency power less than the radio frequency power, based on detecting a location of the system relative to a region of an object determined to be using the system. 
   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 detecting the location of the system relative to the region of the object determined to be using the system.   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 changing a mode of operation of the system to idle mode in response to the performing the selective bundling.   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the defined characteristic of the network comprises information indicative of whether an uplink from the system satisfies a second defined condition. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 determining to forego, for a defined amount of time, performing an action to cause the system to be transferred from a first wireless communication system to a second wireless communication system.   
     
     
         17 . A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 adjusting a radio frequency power emitted from the system to an adjusted radio frequency power determined to satisfy a first condition, wherein the adjusting is based on a location of the system relative to a region of an object determined to be interacting with the system; and   evaluating a characteristic of a network device of a network with which the system is associated and an application being executed by the system, wherein the adjusting is performed after a determination of whether to transmit information to the network device of the network.   
     
     
         18 . The machine-readable storage device of  claim 17 , wherein the evaluating further comprises:
 determining to forego transmission of information to cause the system to be transferred from a first wireless communication system to a second wireless communication system.   
     
     
         19 . The machine-readable storage device of  claim 18 , wherein the determining to forego transmission is based on determining that the application being executed is designated as a first type of application. 
     
     
         20 . The machine-readable storage device of  claim 19 , wherein the first type of application has a lower priority than a priority of a second type of application different than the first type.
