BQ27441-G1: Minimum load current required for gauge to predict SOC correctly

Part Number: BQ27441-G1

Hi,

We  are using Bq27441 in one of our projects,  our load current consumption is not linear. We  have three modes of  operation

Ideal = 3 mA  current consumption  90% life time 

Transmitting: Gsm is transmitting data with 500mA , with burst current of 2Amp for few mSec ( 10%)

Hibernate: If SOC is less than 10% enters in hibernate mode, current consumption <1mAmp for 95 % time period <2 mAmp  for rest of period.

Now  my questions are 

1) Is there is minimum load current required for gauge to predict correct SOC?

2)If using SOC  for entering into hibernation mode and waking up?

3) Will gauge work fine with this pulsating load? How we can make gauge accurate in hibernate mode.

4) whenever we are waking up from hibernate mode we are entering into transmitting mode, we observed jump in soc 5-6 %, whenever we are doing this transition state switching. How can I minimize this? Ideally, i want to understand why this may be happening so that we can take better decisions.
