A method is described comprising: defining a base station congestion condition; detecting that the congestion condition is met with respect to a first base station and allocating a wireless device to an alternate base station instead of the first base station in response to the congestion condition being met, as long as RSSI measured from the alternate base station is above a predetermined alternate base station threshold ('ABT') value.

Apparatus and method for reducing network congestion

A wireless apparatus is described comprising: an RF subsystem to support communication over a wireless network according to a specified network protocol; a Host subsystem to execute program code; and an interface to provide communication of control signals between the RF subsystem and the Host subsystem, the control signals allowing the RF subsystem and/or the Host subsystem to enter into a low power state independently of one another.

Apparatus and method for reducing power consumption in a wireless device

An apparatus and method are disclosed for improving signal transmission on a wireless device such as a personal digital assistant, wireless messaging device, or cellular phone. An initial transmission power level is selected based on received signal strength. If subsequent transmissions at the initial power level are unreliable, then the power is increased by a predetermined amount. Power level increases continue until signal transmission is reliable or the highest power level is reached. One embodiment of the system maintains its heightened power level across multiple communication dialogs.
