Abstract: A communications system may include a user equipment (UE) device that communicates with a wireless network. The UE device may transmit a signal to the wireless network identifying a peak data rate of a modem on the UE device, a balanced data rate of the modem, and a buffer size of the modem. The UE device may receive downlink data from the wireless network and may store the downlink data at buffer circuitry on the modem. The UE device may perform delayed processing of the downlink data across slots in a manner that allows for a reduction in size of the modem.

Abstract: A method of communicating between a physical control device and an electronic device is disclosed herein, the physical control device having a plurality of conductive protrusions detectable by a touch screen of the electronic device when placed in contact with the touch screen. The method comprises identifying, via the electronic device, the physical control device in contact with the touch screen based on a conductive pattern of the conductive protrusions detected by a capacitive touch sensor panel of the touch screen. The method further includes performing a first action at the electronic device in accordance with an input to the physical control device that causes a change in a characteristic of the conductive pattern of the plurality of conductive protrusions detected by the capacitive touch sensor panel, and ignoring a touch input at the capacitive touch sensor panel from a housing of the physical control device.

Abstract: A system may include a client device running multiple client-side applications and server equipment running multiple server-side applications. One or more traffic aggregators may be provided between the client-side applications and the server-side applications. Each traffic aggregator may aggregate application traffic from the multiple applications to form one or more classes of aggregated data. Interfaces may be provided between the traffic aggregators and the applications to customize application traffic. Traffic aggregators in the system may be dynamically updated.

Abstract: A communications system may include a data collection server (DCS) that receives contextual information from a set of UE devices. The DCS may aggregate the contextual information into a database. A given UE may proactively identify an optimal network configuration to use in communicating with a cellular network. The UE may generate local contextual information. The UE may request a set of entries from the database corresponding to a set of geographic tiles overlapping or neighboring its location. The UE may select the optimal network configuration based on its local contextual information and the requested entries. The UE may transmit a request to a base station to perform communications under the optimal network configuration using user equipment assistance information (UAI) of a radio resource control (RRC) signal. Proactive selection of the network configuration may optimize performance given the current UE operating context without requiring reactive network configuration adjustments.

Abstract: An electronic device may include wireless circuitry having one or more radios and one or more antennas. A first radio may be configured to establish a communication link with an external device, a second radio may be configured to establish a communication link with network equipment. One or more processors in the electronic device may receive information indicative of a duration and termination of the communication link with the external device to operate the second radio in one or more operational modes. If desired, one of the operational modes may include a low-power idle mode during which the second radio performs discontinuous reception while pausing network paging monitoring.

Abstract: A communication device is described comprising a first antenna, a second antenna and a third antenna; a first transceiver configured to communicate using at least the first antenna; a second transceiver configured to communicate using at least the second antenna; and a controller configured to determine whether the third antenna is to be used by the first transceiver or the second transceiver based on a selection criterion and configured to control the first transceiver to communicate using the first antenna and the third antenna if the controller has determined that the third antenna is to be used by the first transceiver and to control the second transceiver to communicate using the second antenna and the third antenna if the controller has determined that the third antenna is to be used by the second transceiver.
