Abstract
A wireless mobile communication device may include a first and second transceiver, a network load detection system, and a second transceiver controller. The first transceiver may be configured to wirelessly communicate with a first wireless communication network, such as a wireless cellular communication network. The second transceiver may be different from the first transceiver and may be configured to wirelessly communicate with a second wireless communication network which may be different from the first wireless communication network, such as the Internet and at least one Wi-Fi access point. The network load detection system may be configured to detect load information indicative of an amount of load on the first wireless communication network. The second transceiver controller may be configured to autonomously power on the second transceiver when the load information indicates a heavy load on the first wireless communication network.
