ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for power management of an electronic device. The present invention reduces power consumption of an electronic device that communicates over a network by selecting a transmission mode with reduced power consumption as the battery level gets lower. A disclosed power management process monitors the battery level of an electronic device and selects a transmission mode (e.g., a transmission rate) with a lower power consumption when the battery power level reaches one or more predefined threshold levels.
