  • Patent number: 10178561
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to enhancing data communication performance in a wireless communication network including a first subscription associated with a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second subscription associated with a second RAT, where the wireless communication device uses a same radio frequency (RF) resource to communicate over both the first RAT and the second RAT. The first RAT is used, in part, for data operations while the second RAT is used, in part, for voice operations. During idle state voice operations, the RF resource is reallocated from performing data operations to performing idle state voice operations, causing interruptions in the data operations. The wireless communication device adjusts at least one or a duration and an occurrence of the idle state voice operations to reduce the impact on the data operations.

  • Patent number: 9819458
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for bundling feedback related to downlink transmissions on a plurality of component carriers (CCs). In some examples, a base station configures a multi-carrier mobile device to use different feedback bundling schemes when it determines that the mobile device is power limited. The bundling scheme configured for the mobile device may be based, in part, on one or more transmission modes of the downlink CCs. Bundling schemes may include combinations of bundling techniques and an order in which these techniques are applied. In particular, the bundling techniques may include CC bundling in combination with spatial bundling and/or feedback repetition. For efficiency and performance, a bundling scheme may require application of CC bundling before resorting to use of feedback repetition.

  • Patent number: 9084151
    Abstract: Wireless communication in a multicarrier radio access network may be implemented where a user equipment (UE) maintains communication with various carrier frequencies in the multicarrier network. The UE will receive an indication from a node B to measure a signal quality on one of a number of carrier frequencies in the network. The UE will then measure the signal quality on the carrier frequency based on measurements using a downlink synchronization code transmitted by the node B on the downlink pilot channel of the carrier frequencies in the multicarrier network. The UE may then report the channel quality back to the node B.

  • Patent number: 8995783
    Abstract: In photography, High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology typically consists of (1) acquiring a wide dynamic range image and (2) adapting the wide dynamic range image to fit to the display range of the device. The first part can be achieved by using a special sensor or by combining two or more images with same or different exposures, and is optional. The second part, contrast adaptation, locally adapts the tone mapping function thus effectively re-using the available range. Described is a system and method that enables a user to create a new image by selectively combining contrast adapted and non-contrast adapted versions of the same image. The new image can retain the natural quality of the well illuminated areas and enhance salient features as selected by the user.
