Abstract:
Methods, devices, and systems for a mobile device to execute user experience software that dynamically determines operating policies that are suited for managing resources, such as transceivers, processors, and other units within the mobile device. In an aspect, a processor executing the user experience software may monitor for activity information that indicates a user's interactions with the mobile device. Based on the activity information, a processor executing the user experience software may match a circumstance defined by the activity information with a stored activity profile. The activity profile may include information indicating aggregated resource usage associated with the matched circumstance. A processor executing the user experience software may implement an operating policy based on the activity profile that manages how the mobile device utilizes resources. In various aspects, activity profiles may be periodically updated with resource usage information from numerous sources to aggregate data for managing particular circumstances.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) includes a first communication component configured to use a first frequency band, such as ultra-wide band (UWB), and a second communication component configured to use an intermediate frequency (IF) band that overlaps with the UWB band, such as an IF millimeter wave (mmWave) band. The second communication component conducts an IF signal along an internal signal conduction line that may interfere with UWB processing. A processor of the UE is configured to detect an indication of such interference, and, in response to the indication of interference, control the second communication component to adjust a characteristic of the IF band signal to mitigate the interference, such as by reducing its signal strength. The amount by which the IF band signal strength is reduced may be controlled to achieve a desired tradeoff between various performance metrics, such as power consumption and quality of service.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to mechanisms for enhancing pedestrian to vehicle (P2V) communications. For example, a pedestrian user equipment (P-UE) may detect a change in at least one of: location or motion of the UE adjust, based on the detection, behavior of one or more features of the UE related to P2V transmissions.
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 disclosure related to communications apparatus provides isolation between wireless protocols when operating currently while incurring the additional insertion loss based on providing the isolation only when needed. In an aspect, an apparatus include a switched filter coupled to an antenna where the switched filter includes a filter and a bypass line along with switching circuitry configured to selectively establish a bypass signal path including the bypass line or a filtered signal path including the filter. The apparatus further includes a switched filter controller configured to cause the switching circuitry to selectively connect a transceiver unit to the antenna via the bypass signal path or via the filtered signal path based at least on a frequency band of a carrier signal and a bandwidth of the carrier signal.
Abstract:
The various embodiments provide methods implemented in a multi-RF communication device for managing a victim subscription's de-sense by proactively implementing an RF coexistence management strategy on the victim subscription when an RF coexistence event starts. In various embodiments, a multi-RF communication device may implement an RF coexistence management strategy by determining when an aggressor subscription will de-sense a victim subscription and configuring the victim to anticipate and mitigate de-sense during the aggressor's transmissions. Thus, the various embodiments may provide dramatic improvements to the victim's overall reception performance and overall user experience.

A method, an apparatus, a transmitter component, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The transmitter component may determine whether first information or second information is to be provided to a receiver component, wherein the first information includes a RAT identifier and the second information includes information regarding a transmit operation; and transmit a communication to the receiver component via a wireless coexistence interface between the receiver component and the transmitter component, wherein a particular portion of the communication is associated with a first value when the first information is to be provided, and wherein the particular portion is associated with a second value when the second information is to be provided. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose methods for determining power level of one or more transmitters based on a power level of a primary transmitter when the transmitters are located in close proximity of each other. The power levels may be determined such that a combined power of all the transmitters is compliant with regulatory radio frequency (RF) safety requirements. For certain aspects, power level of the lower priority transmitters may be determined utilizing one or more look-up tables. For another aspect, power level of the lower priority transmitters may be calculated using an algorithm based on the power level of the priority transmitter. In aspects, the power level of lower priority transmitters and the time duration for which the transmitters are active may be selected dynamically so that the time averaged power of the transmitters for a defined period of time falls below the RF exposure limit.
