Abstract
An electronic device may include wireless circuitry having one or more radios and one or more antennas. A first radio may be configured to establish a communication link with an external device, a second radio may be configured to establish a communication link with network equipment. One or more processors in the electronic device may receive information indicative of a duration and termination of the communication link with the external device to operate the second radio in one or more operational modes. If desired, one of the operational modes may include a low-power idle mode during which the second radio performs discontinuous reception while pausing network paging monitoring.
