The present invention facilitates efficient and effective power management for wireless telecommunications. In one embodiment, presented approaches enable power savings in devices with a limited power supply (e.g., mobile devices operating on battery power supply, photocell, etc.). In one exemplary implementation, power smart channels facilitate power conservation. Power smart channel communications can be transmitted at lower power levels than conventional or normal channel communications. Presented power smart channel methods and systems can be implemented in a wireless cellular communication environment where power smart channels are established and used in accordance with various aspects and configurations of the components (e.g., location, remaining battery charge, multiple resource bands, etc.) in the wireless cellular communication environment.
