8. Multi-Radio Power Management (1)
Purpose: Enhance the user experience by extending the battery operating life of multi-radio mobile devices.
Scope: Define mechanisms to reduce power consumption of multi-radio mobile devices based on IEEE services.
Not in Scope: Enhancements to the MAC/PHY of individual access technologies for making them more power efficient are outside the scope of this project.

9. Multi-Radio Power Management (2)
Enables to put inaccessible or unused radios into lower power states (Off or Deep-sleep)
Enables to activate the deactivated radios when required
Within coverage area, application requirement, network capacity
Enables to select best radio and its corresponding power state for an application service
Enables to minimize the time in accessing the network when activating a radio
Acquiring configuration parameters to access the network in advance
