Abstract
A communication device ( ) capable of transmitting information provides the means for regulating the temperature ( ) of one or more heat-sensitive modules or components ( ) of the communication device through the adaptive and dynamic control of the flow of transmissions by the communication device, thereby eliminating the need for stored thermal profiles of heat-sensitive modules of the communication device. In addition to the heat-sensitive module(s), the communication device has a multi-logic controller block ( ) and a transmission flow control block ( ). The multi-logic controller block ( ) receives the temperature of the heat-sensitive module ( ) and a first control clock ( ) and utilizes multi-value logic to generate a flow control signal having hysteresis ( ). The flow control block ( ) is coupled to the multi-logic controller block ( ) and the heat-sensitive module(s) ( ) and operates to generate a transmission control signal adapted to control transmission of information by the communication device in accordance with the flow control signal ( ) and a second control clock ( ) provided to the flow control block ( ).
