    Abstract: An electronic device (12) in a cluster (10) that has the potential to serve as a new cluster head (36) receives cluster head assistance data from a current cluster head (36) device. The cluster head assistance data includes at least one data item related to establishment of operative communication with the wireless communications network (28) over a network communications interface (26) of the electronic device. If the electronic device is assigned to be the new cluster head, it injects the at least one data item into a process related to operation of the network communications interface and establishment of the operative communication with the wireless communications network; establishes the operative communication with the wireless communications network; and carries out cluster head functions on behalf of the cluster.

    Abstract: A device and method for limiting peak current draw in an electronic device includes identifying an operational state of the electronic device, and accessing data stored in the electronic device, the data including possible operational states of the electronic device and respective configuration data for maintaining an electric current consumption of the electronic device below a prescribed threshold. Operational parameters of the electronic device are modified based on the data obtained from memory to maintain the electric current consumption of the electronic device below the prescribed threshold.
