INTRODUCTION
We carried out the tests in a vehicle.
Two systems were connected to 2 Hoplites, one with
F3 disabled and the other with USB connected and
F3 enabled. The USB was connected to collect the
QXDM logs.
The route was the path shown in blue and yellow

AIRTEL 3G
In W only mode, there are regular awakes every
650ms and each wake up has a width of 50ms.
The base current is 2.5 mA and wake up current is
44.4 mA.
In between, there are intervals when there are
spurious awakes and the width of the regular awake
increases.
A possible reason could be the fading due to
mobility and bad signal condition.

Regular Awakes

AIRTEL 3G WITH F3 ENABLED

There is an awake every 650ms each of width 50ms.
There is also a period of spurious awakes indicating
that the network or fading is responsible for the
awake.
The base current is 100mA and in wake ups it is
144.7 mA.

AIRTEL 2G
There is an awake every 470ms with a width of
100ms.
The baseline current is 2.5 mA and awake current is
43.8 mA.
There are 2 spurious awakes, first at 55s having a
width of 800ms and the second one at 166s,
spanning 7s.

SPURIOUS AWAKE 1Qualcomm Confidential and Proprietary

SPURIOUS AWAKE 2

AIRTEL 2G WITH F3 ENABLED

The baseline is at 100mA. This is because USB was
connected to the device, thus preventing it from
entering sleep.
There are awakes every 470 ms having current
147.3 mA.
There is a spurious awake at around 185 s as shown
in the figure.

VODAFONE 2G
The interval between 2 awakes is 940ms and the
width is 30ms.
The average current in a wake up is 43mA.
There is one long awake as shown beneath in the
figure.

12/26/16

Qualcomm Confidential and Proprietary

VODAFONE 2G WITH F3 ENABLED

The interval between 2 awakes and the wake up
duration is the same.
The base current is 100mA and during a wake up,
the average value is 146.6mA
There is an awake at 235s.

PERIODIC AWAKE

W+G (AIRTEL + VODAFONE)

There is a periodicity in wake up patterns with a
period of 1.35s.
In every 1.35s, we observe 4 wake ups. The
intervals are 280ms, 320ms and 680ms.
The width of first 3 similar wake ups is 35ms and the
current is 55-60mA
The 4th(different) wake up has a width of 84ms and
current is 75mA and is
shown
in Red.

W+G (VODAFONE + AIRTEL)

There is a periodicity and its duration is 1.55s
The currents in the awakes are 45, 50, 50, 50, 45,
50, 45 mA.
The 4th,5th and 6th,7th awakes are very close to each
other.
