  • Patent number: 9191052
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a universal subscriber identification module card and a communication method using the same. The universal subscriber identification module card includes a Universal Subscriber Identification Module (USIM) chip, a pad, and a security chip. The USIM chip performs the user authentication of a mobile terminal. The pad electrically connects the USIM chip to the mobile terminal when the USIM chip is inserted into the mobile terminal. The security chip performs a security function for the mobile terminal independently of the USIM chip and shares the two power terminals of the pad with the USIM chip.

  • Patent number: 9185646
    Abstract: A base station transmits energy related information to a mobile station, wherein the energy related information is related to at least one of an energy harvester module and an energy storage module coupled to the base station. The energy related information includes: an energy level and a maximum storage capacity of the energy storage module; an energy harvest rate and energy consumption rate. The base station and the mobile station perform energy trade off, where when the serving base station has an energy level below a threshold, the mobile station uses certain configuration to send information to the serving base station where the configuration can use more resources, such as RF chains, thereby increasing energy consumption of the mobile station while enabling the base station to conserve energy.
