Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus and techniques for configuring memory in an effort to reduce power consumption. For example, certain aspects of the present disclosure may provide an apparatus having a processing system configured to determine an operating mode of an application executing on the processing system. The operating mode may be one of a plurality of operating modes of the application, and each operating mode of the plurality of operating modes may correspond to a different configuration of memory. In certain aspects, the configurations of memory may correspond to different portions of memory that are active or inactive. In certain aspects, the apparatus may also include a memory control module configured to configure the memory based on the determined operating mode of the application.

Configurable low memory modes for reduced power consumption

A preferred roaming list (PRL) carries system and acquisition records for wireless wide area network (WWAN) systems and wireless local area network (WLAN) systems. New system and acquisition records may be defined for WLAN. The PRL and system and acquisition records may be defined to be backward compatible with TIA-683-C. System and acquisition information for WLAN systems may be stored in the new system and acquisition records, respectively. Information used to perform encryption and/or authentication for WLAN systems may be stored in a separate WLAN authentication profile table. The system record for each WLAN system indicates a acquisition record and a profile record for that WLAN system. A network identifier table may also carry system records and profile records for WLAN systems. The system records carry information used for WLAN system selection and acquisition. The profile records carry information used to perform encryption and/or authentication for WLAN systems.
