Abstract
A method of selecting a mode for an SPS receiver includes selecting either a first mode or a second mode for the SPS receiver based on a comparison between an output power of a communications transceiver and a mode switch point wherein the mode switch point is a power value. The first mode corresponds to a first bias current value of the SPS receiver, the second mode corresponds to a second bias current value of the SPS receiver, and the first bias current value is different from the second bias current value.
