Abstract: A method for a tracking device optimizing power to remain reachable for a desired period based on evaluated wide-area-network conditions. The tracking device may communicate via a power-intensive long-range transceiver and may continually measure service conditions related to network communications. The tracking device may periodically calculate statistical information describing the service conditions, such as a percentage of time in which the tracking device was out-of-network-service. Based on the statistics, the tracking device may operate in an optimization mode to conserve power when out-of-network-service. In an embodiment, the tracking device may calculate the statistics based on evaluation periods defined by predefined numbers of out-of-network-service occurrences, predefined time periods, and/or a hybrid of both. In an embodiment, the tracking device may conserve power in a power save state that alternates with another operating state in which the tracking device periodically evaluates criteria before either continuing to conserve power or utilize network resources.

Abstract translation: 一种跟踪装置的方法，其基于所估计的广域网状况，优化功率以保持期望期望的时间。 跟踪设备可以经由功率密集型远程收发器进行通信，并且可以连续地测量与网络通信相关的服务条件。 跟踪装置可以周期性地计算描述服务条件的统计信息，例如跟踪装置在网络外服务之外的时间百分比。 基于统计，跟踪设备可以在优化模式下操作以在网络外服务时节省功率。 在一个实施例中，跟踪设备可以基于由预定义数量的网络外服务事件，预定时间段和/或两者的混合来定义的评估周期来计算统计。 在一个实施例中，跟踪设备可节省与另一操作状态交替的省电状态下的功率，其中跟踪设备在继续节省功率或利用网络资源之前周期性地评估标准。
