Modem manager 460 may manage modem 470 with respect to signaling modem to power down or enter a “sleep” state or mode when UE device 110 is not expected to receive or transmit data and to wake up when UE device 110 is expected to receive or transmit data. The term “sleep” state/mode as used herein refers to a mode in which UE device 110 is dormant and not able to transmit or receive data. In this mode, modem 470 and other elements may be in a disabled or powered down mode to save battery resources. As described above, UE device 110 may be in a sleep mode most of the time to conserve battery resources and wake up (e.g., enable various elements, such as modem 470) when data is expected to be received or transmitted. Modem 470 may include modulator/demodulator logic to receive data that is wirelessly transmitted, demodulate the received data and forward the received data to other components of UE device 110, such as client 410, caching service logic 420, etc. Modem 470 may also include a modulator to modulate data for transmission to other devices in environment 100 via network 140.

Although FIG. 4 shows exemplary components of UE device 110, in other implementations, UE device 110 may include fewer components, different components, differently arranged components, or additional components than depicted in FIG. 4, such as one or more antennas and/or communication interfaces for transmitting and receiving data via network 140. In addition, functions described as being performed by one of the components in FIG. 4 may alternatively be performed by another one or more of the components of UE device 110.
