A wireless device includes a positioning sensor, memory circuitry, a wireless interface, and processor circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to obtain a channel quality parameter indicative of a channel quality of a wireless communication channel. The processor circuitry is configured to determine whether the channel quality parameter satisfies a first criterion. The processor circuitry is configured to, when the channel quality parameter satisfies the first criterion, determine, by using an activation model, a control parameter based on the channel quality parameter. The processor circuitry is configured to, when the channel quality parameter satisfies the first criterion, control the positioning sensor based on the control parameter.
