Power Settings for the Sounding Reference signal and the Scheduled Transmission in Multi-Channel Scheduled Systems

Scheduled transmissions in a multi-channel scheduled communication system include both sounding reference signal and data transmission in sub-frames. The sounding reference signal is transmitted from a user equipment device to a base station with a power level that is either open loop controlled or closed loop controlled by the base station and / or the network. The transmit power level for the sounding reference signal can be a constant or a function of the number of scheduled channels for data transmission. The base station informs the UE the number of scheduled channels, as well as a data transmit power offset relative to the sound reference signal power. The data transmit power level is decided according to the sounding reference signal transmit power, the allocated channels, and the data transmit power offset.

Described is a method and system for power management of mobile computer displays, in which areas of the screen are selectively controlled to consume less power than other areas. For example, a foreground window having focus may receive normal brightness, while background areas are dimmed. To this end, the pixels of selected areas are controlled to vary color depth, resolution, refresh rate, brightness and / or the on / off state for any part of the display. Power settings for parts of the display not corresponding to a focused window can be gradually reduced over time. Power policy may determine which areas are given reduced power, and external mechanisms provide information useful in the determination, such as when the user last interacted with a window, where the mouse is hovering, explicit user instructions as to how to power manage a window, and sensors that detect where the user is likely to want more power.
