Abstract:
A method and system for managing electrical current within a portable computing device (“PCD”) includes assigning a priority to two or more communications supported by the PCD. A present level of a power supply for the PCD may be monitored by a communications power (“CP”) manager module. Next, the CP manager module may determine if the two or more communications may be transmitted at the present level of the power supply. If the two or more communications cannot be transmitted at the present level of the power supply, then the CP manager module may determine if a timing of at least one of the communications may be adjusted. The CP manager module may also determine a theoretical power level adjustment for at least one of the communications. The two or more communications may be transmitted with any calculated timing off sets and power level adjustments.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for capability information for sounding reference signal (SRS) improvements. An exemplary method generally includes determining a capability of the UE related to additional sounding reference signal (SRS) transmissions in a normal uplink (UL) subframe; transmitting, to a base station (BS), capability information indicating the determined capability of the UE; receiving SRS configuration information, wherein the SRS configuration information is based, at least in part, on the capability information; and transmitting at least one SRS in accordance with the SRS configuration information.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may group multiple carriers with transmission time intervals (TTIs) having different durations into different physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) groups. The UE may reserve power per each PUCCH group. Alternatively, the UE may reserve power per each TTI duration across the one or more PUCCH groups.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Multiple transmission time intervals (TTIs) may be used for communications between a base station and user equipment (UE), where each TTI may have a data pattern scheduled by a base station. Each TTI may include respective symbol periods designated as reference or data symbol periods. In some examples, the UE may be configured to transmit a sounding reference signal (SRS) in a last symbol period of a TTI, and a base station may dynamically determine a data pattern for the TTI such that a temporally last symbol period is immediately preceded by a reference symbol period (e.g., based on the presence of the SRS). In such cases, the UE may configure a transient time within the preceding reference symbol period to avoid signal degradation of the SRS (or data transmitted within the same TTI).
Abstract:
Some aspects described herein reduce the negative performance impact associated with the voltage droop of a user equipment (UE) battery. For example, aspects described herein may be used to configure a UE with a pattern that includes a battery recovery time period that prevents a battery voltage of the UE from falling below a critical threshold and/or reduces the likelihood of the battery voltage falling below the critical threshold. In this way, UE performance may be improved, battery performance may be improved, battery life may be extended, and/or the like.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some cases, a user equipment (UE) may be scheduled to transmit uplink signals on different carriers during transmission time intervals (TTIs) that have different durations. As such, a TTI on a first carrier (e.g., a reference carrier) may overlap with multiple shortened TTIs (sTTIs) on a second carrier (e.g., a non-reference carrier). Using the techniques described herein, the UE may select a calibration point (or a gain index) for uplink transmissions at the beginning of the TTI on the reference carrier based on an amount of power reserved for expected power increases during the TTI. As such, when the UE has to update its transmit power for an uplink transmission during an sTTI on the second carrier, the UE may apply a digital back-off from a power associated with the calibration point.

Abstract:
Various embodiments include methods for managing antennas on an aerial robotic vehicle used for wireless communications. A processor may receive position information identifying a location of the aerial robotic vehicle, determine whether to switch from using a first antenna to using a second antenna for active communications of the aerial robotic vehicle based on the position information, and switch active communications from using the first antenna to using the second antenna in response to determining that active communications of the aerial robotic vehicle should switch from using the first antenna to using the second antenna. The processor may make the determination using information from a database, which may correlate aerial robotic vehicle position to whether to use a particular one of the first and second antennas for active communications. The determination may also be based on a comparison of signal qualities obtained by both antennas.
