Abstract
Internet, voice calls, and messaging services have become ubiquitous and the means by which the services are accessed varies widely. The number and types of devices that may use these services have also proliferated. To serve a number and variety of client devices, a Service Distribution Device (SDD) may be used, which is a device that includes a modem for mobile broadband access and a short range wireless link to distribute the services to local devices which may have such connectivity. Power consumption of an SDD which may continuously broadcast signals is an important consideration. A method and apparatus are disclosed that enable adaptive and seamless selection of the best mode of operation for the SDD such that the power consumption may be reduced while providing uninterrupted service to the client devices.
