    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and apparatuses for beamforming for communication over preferred resources of a wireless network. A user device receives a signal from a plurality of antenna arrays of one or more base stations. The signal is transmitted, by the base stations, over a set of dedicated communication resources of a wireless network. Each of the base stations may dedicate a same set of resource elements for narrow-band communication with user devices outside of a standard range of a single antenna array. The user device determines a quality of the signal received over the dedicated communication resources and generates an index to identify preferred resources for communicating with the one or more base stations. The user device then communicates the index to the base stations to enable the base stations to establish a narrow-band wireless connection with the user device.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and apparatuses for inter-radio access technology carrier aggregation. In some aspects, a user device establishes a wireless link for communicating with a base station via a first radio access technology. The user device receives an inter-radio access technology carrier aggregation communication via the wireless link in accordance with the first radio access technology. The inter-radio access technology carrier aggregation communication includes data relating to a component carrier of the wireless link that uses a second radio access technology. The user device may use the data to configure the user device for communication via the second component carrier of the wireless link.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and apparatuses for satellite-based narrow-band communication. In some aspects, the systems include a user device (102) that establishes a Narrow-Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) wireless connection (106) with one or more orbital satellites (104) in order to transmit (108) and receive (110) data when other wireless connections are not available. The data may be relayed by the orbital satellite (104) to and from a base station (202) on Earth.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) manages thermal levels of antenna modules with reference to a temperature threshold. The UE includes multiple antenna modules having a first antenna module and a second antenna module and at least one wireless transceiver coupled to the multiple antenna modules. The UE also includes a processor and memory system implementing an antenna module thermal manager. The manager is configured to obtain a first temperature indication corresponding to the first antenna module of the multiple antenna modules. The manager is also configured to perform a comparison of the first temperature indication to at least one temperature threshold. The manager is further configured to switch, based on the comparison, from using the first antenna module to using the second antenna module for wireless communication with the at least one wireless transceiver.

    Abstract: A UE receives satellite ephemeris information from a server server and calculates one or more satellite parameters for at least one satellite based on the satellite ephemeris information. The UE controls, based on the one or more satellite parameters, operation of a software application that utilizes a data service provided via the at least one satellite. Calculating satellite parameters can include calculating one or more satellite parameters at an API of the UE, and controlling operation of a software application can include receiving, at the API, a request for satellite ephemeris information from the software application, providing, by the API, a representation of the one or more satellite parameters to the software application in response to the request, and adjusting, at the software application, an operation of the software application based on the received representation of the one or more satellite parameters.

    Abstract: A User Equipment 210 (UE) determines 215 a maximum UL/DL duty cycle to utilize for a connection with a base station 202 based on a content of a UE capabilities request 212 sent by the base station, where the maximum UL/DL duty cycle is typically is less than a most restrictive, possible UL/DL duty cycle of the UE, yet allows the UE to remain SAR compliant. The UE may determine 215 the maximum UL/DL duty cycle further based on, e.g., requested frequency bands, operational UE transceivers, carrier components, UE power class, stored power data, etc. The UE communicates 218 the maximum UL/DL duty cycle for the connection to the base station, thereby resulting in more efficient downlink data delivery during the connection as well as increasing cell site coverage and overall system efficiency. The UE may store a global parameter whose value is indicative of the maximum UL/DL duty cycle.
