Abstract
A method in a communication device includes exchanging data between a Baseband Integrated Circuit (BBIC) and a Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) over a digital interface having a variable clock rate. The clock rate of the digital interface is modified repeatedly during a communication session conducted by the communication device, in response to changes in a current operational state of the communication device during the communication session, to a lowest clock rate that is suitable for the current operational state, so as to reduce a power consumption of the communication device.
