Abstract:
Methods and devices for reducing the power consumption and increasing the efficiency of an LTE transmitter of an electronic device are provided. By way of example, a method includes calculating location data related to a region in which the electronic device may operate via the electronic device, determining via the electronic device a region in which the electronic device is currently operating within based on the location data, and adjusting an output transmitting power of the electronic device based at least in part on the region and one or more frequency operating parameters utilized by the electronic device.
Abstract:
In order to establish a connection between electronic devices, after receiving an advertising packet from another electronic device, an electronic device compares a performance metric associated with the communication with the other electronic device with a threshold value. Based on the comparison, the electronic device provides pairing-intent information specifying a pairing intent for the electronic device and the other electronic device for presentation by the other electronic device. Moreover, after receiving additional pairing-intent information specifying the pairing intent from the other electronic device, the electronic device establishes the connection with the other electronic device when the additional pairing-intent information matches the pairing-intent information. For example, the pairing intent may include a gesture and/or a sequence of one or more characters, and the additional pairing-intent information may include: the sequence of one or more characters; accelerometer data corresponding to the gesture; and/or user-interface data corresponding to the gesture.

Abstract:
Methods performed by a first sink device, a source device, or a second sink device. The first sink device is connected to a source device via a first communication link and a second sink device via a second communication link, wherein the second sink device is configured to eavesdrop on communications between the first sink device and the source device on the first communication link. The methods include determining an occurrence of a trigger event and modifying an operation of at least one of the first sink device, the second sink device or the source device based at least on the trigger event occurring.
Abstract:
Some embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product for managing the Ultra Wideband (UWB) systems, especially when the UWB system is collocated with another wireless system (e.g., WiFi) to transmit and/or receive UWB signals with an occupied bandwidth (OBW) that satisfies a UWB OBW standard (e.g., a UWB OBW>=500 MHz.) In some embodiments a TailBit signal (e.g., a periodic signal at a selected frequency) is added to a UWB packet to generate frequency components at the selected frequency that enables the power spectrum of the TailBit UWB signal to satisfy the UWB OBW standard. In some embodiments an altered code sequence is used to generate an altered spread signal, where the altered code sequence reduces or removes a frequency component peak near DC frequency of the power spectrum of an altered UWB signal, resulting in altered UWB OBW that satisfies the UWB OBW standard.
Abstract:
Embodiments are disclosed for terahertz spectroscopy and imaging in dynamic environments. In an embodiment, a method comprises emitting a continuous electromagnetic (EM) wave in a terahertz (THz) frequency band into a dynamic environment. The EM THz wave is reflected off an object in the environment. A spectral response of a received signal indicative of the reflected EM wave is determined that includes absorption spectra at a frequency in the THz frequency band. The absorption spectra is indicative of a transmission medium in the environment. The spectral response of the received signal is compensated for fixed and frequency-specific losses. The compensated absorption spectra is compared with known absorption spectra of target transmission mediums. Based on results of the comparing, a particular target transmission medium is identified as being the transmission medium in the environment. The absorption spectra loss is used to determine a concentration level of the target transmission medium.
