A system for dynamically adjusting clock calibration in a wireless communication device. The system includes a temperature sensor for measuring a temperature, a primary clock coupled to the microprocessor for synchronizing the operation of the wireless communication device and a secondary clock coupled to the microprocessor for tracking time. A signal representing a measured temperature is received. At least one of a temperature measurement rate and a calibration rate based on the measured temperature is determined. A signal representing the at least one of the determined temperature measurement rate and the determined calibration rate is transmitted.
