Abstract
A method of providing communication services for a mobile station having a plurality of communication interfaces is disclosed. Each communication interface has an active power mode and an inactive power mode. The power consumption of a communication interface in the active power mode is greater than in the inactive power mode. In the method, a first communication interface is activated based on power characteristics of the first communication interface with respect to the plurality of communication interfaces. A communication service level of the activated first communication interface is assessed for a first predetermined time period. The first communication interface is then deactivated. A second communication interface is activated based on power characteristics of the second communication interface with respect to the plurality of communication interfaces. A communication service level of the activated second communication interface is assessed for a second predetermined time period. The second communication interface is then deactivated.
