Abstract
A user equipment may save power by reducing certain battery draining activities when the battery power remaining in the UE fails to meet a threshold value. The UE may skip inter-radio access technology measurements to conserve battery life when the battery power in the UE fails to meet the threshold. The UE may also extend inter-radio access technology measurement periodicity when the battery power in the UE fails to meet the threshold.
