1. A battery-powered device, comprising:
a baseband modem, configured to receive or send data according to a first operational mode, wherein the data correspond to a software application being executed on the battery-powered device; and
a processor, configured to:
determine a resource requirement of the software application; and
send a signal representing the determined resource requirement to the baseband modem;
wherein the baseband modem is further configured to change from the first operational mode to a second operational mode based on the signal; and wherein the processor is further configured to:
estimate a resource utilization of the first operational mode;
determine whether the first operational mode comprises operating with a resource utilization greater than the determined resource requirement;
wherein if the operational mode comprises operating with a resource utilization greater than the determined resource requirement, send a signal to the baseband modem representing the determined resource requirement; and
if the operational mode comprises operating with a resource utilization less than the determined resource requirement, send no signal to the baseband modem representing the determined resource requirement.
