摘要
A device may include a controller and a modem of a first wireless network. The controller may determine that the modem is in active mode and the device is using a second wireless network for communication instead of the first wireless network. In response to the determining, the controller may switch the modem into power-save mode. In response to a handover triggering event, the controller may switch the modem to the active mode and acquire a service of the first wireless network without registering with the first wireless network. The controller may determine that a communication service is to be handed over to the service of the first wireless network. In response to determining that the communication service is to be handed over, the controller may perform registration with the first wireless network, and perform handover of the communication service to the service of the first wireless network.

The present disclosure is generally related to wireless communication, including but not limited to performing a power management process based on a handover status of a service between two wireless networks.
A device can use a service over multiple wireless networks. For example, a wireless device (e.g., mobile phones, console, head wearable display, etc.) may use IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) services over a cellular network (e.g., 3G, 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE), 5G) or wireless local area network (WLAN; e.g., WLAN based on the IEEE 802.11 standards).
When a device uses a service over multiple networks, the device may consume unnecessary power, thereby reducing the battery life of the device and impacting the user experience.

What is claimed is:1. A device, comprising:a modem of a first wireless network; and a controller configured to:determine that the modem is in active mode and the device is using a second wireless network for communication instead of the first wireless network, in response to the determining, switch the modem into power-save mode, detect a handover triggering event, in response to the handover triggering event, switch the modem to the active mode and acquire a service of the first wireless network without registering with the first wireless network, determine that a communication service is to be handed over to the service of the first wireless network; in response to determining that the communication service is to be handed over, perform registration with the first wireless network, and perform handover of the communication service to the service of the first wireless network. 2. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a timer, wherein the controller is configured to:in response to determining that that the modem is in active mode and the device is using a second wireless network for communication instead of the first wireless network, start the timer which is set to a predetermined time; and after the predetermined time elapses, switch the modem into the power-save mode. 3. The device according to claim 1 , whereinthe modem is a cellular modem, the first wireless network is a cellular network, and the second wireless network is a wireless local area network (WLAN). 4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the communication service is an internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) service. 5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the handover triggering event is a start of one or more communication services. 6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the one or more communication services comprise at least one of a mobile originating (MO) voice service, a MO video service, a MO short message service (SMS), a mobile terminating (MT) voice service, a MT video service, or a MT SMS. 7. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the controller is configured to:determine that the one or more communication services have ended; and in response to determining that the one or more communication services have ended, switch the modem into the power-save mode. 8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the handover triggering event is a degradation of a quality of signals of the second wireless network. 9. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the controller is configured to:in response to determining that a signal strength of a signal in the second wireless network is greater than or equal to a first threshold for using the second wireless network, switch the modem of the first wireless network to the power-save mode. 10. The device according to claim 1 , wherein in determining that the communication service is to be handed over to the service of the first wireless network, the controller is configured to:determine that the communication service has not ended; and determine that a signal strength of a signal in the second wireless network is smaller than a second threshold for using the second wireless network. 11. A method comprising:determining, by a controller of a device, that a modem of a first wireless network is in active mode and the device is using a second wireless network for communication instead of the first wireless network, in response to the determining, switching the modem into power-save mode, detecting, by the controller, a handover triggering event, in response to the handover triggering event, switching, by the controller, the modem to the active mode and acquiring a service of the first wireless network without registering with the first wireless network, determining, by the controller, that a communication service is to be handed over to the service of the first wireless network; in response to determining that the communication service is to be handed over, performing, by the controller, registration with the first wireless network, and handover of the communication service to the service of the first wireless network. 12. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising:in response to determining that that the modem is in active mode and the device is using a second wireless network for communication instead of the first wireless network, starting a timer which is set to a predetermined time; and after the predetermined time elapses, switching the modem into the power-save mode. 13. The method according to claim 11 , whereinthe modem is a cellular modem, the first wireless network is a cellular network, and the second wireless network is a wireless local area network (WLAN). 14. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the communication service is an internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) service. 15. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the handover triggering event is a start of one or more communication services. 16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the one or more communication services comprise at least one of a mobile originating (MO) voice service, a MO video service, a MO short message service (SMS), a mobile terminating (MT) voice service, a MT video service, or a MT SMS. 17. The method according to claim 15 , further comprising:determining that the one or more communication services have ended; and in response to determining that the one or more communication services have ended, switching the modem into the power-save mode. 18. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the handover triggering event is a degradation of a quality of signals of the second wireless network. 19. The method according to claim 18 , further comprising:in response to determining that a signal strength of a signal in the second wireless network is greater than or equal to a first threshold for using the second wireless network, switching the modem of the first wireless network to the power-save mode. 20.
