System and method for advanced low power wide area network communications power management

Abstract

An information handling system operating a low power communications engine comprising a wireless adapter for communicating on a low power communication technology network (such as LPWAN) for receiving low power communication technology data traffic for at least one always-on remote management service for the information handling system, a controller receiving a power status of the information handling system indicating a battery power level and determining a first threshold priority level based on the battery power level, the controller executing code instructions for a low power communications engine to detect a first priority level of data traffic incoming to an active low power communication technology wireless link from a packet header designation of priority level. The controller to initiate incoming traffic limitations for incoming low power communication technology data traffic to deny immediate forwarding of the low power communication technology data traffic if the detected first priority level falls at or below the first threshold priority level, and the controller to wake a BIOS of the information handling system and forward the incoming low power communication technology data traffic to applications on the information handling system if the first priority level is above the first threshold priority level.
