Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide a method for scheduling background processes. The method begins when a task scheduler requests a SAR severity level from the application processor. The application processor then requests the SAR severity level from the modem. Upon receipt of the SAR severity level the task scheduler then determines if the SAR severity level is high. If the SAR severity level is high, the task scheduler waits a predetermined time and then requests a further SAR severity level. This process continues until the SAR severity level returned in within a normal level. At that time, the background process is scheduled. This prioritizes transmission. The apparatus includes a task scheduler in communication with an application processor and a modem in communication with the application processor. The task scheduler may include a memory and a timer.
