A user equipment (UE) device may include a memory storing instructions and processor configured to execute the instructions to receive a first reconfiguration message from a wireless station of a radio access network to attempt to place the UE device into a first power saving state. The UE device may be further configured to execute the instructions to determine that a battery level is below a first predetermined threshold; transmit, to the wireless station, a second power savings request when it is determined that the battery level is below the predetermined threshold, to place the UE device into a second power saving state; receive a second reconfiguration message from the wireless station based on the second power savings request; and execute adjustments in the second reconfiguration message to place the UE device into the second power saving state.
