  • Patent number: 10211866
    Abstract: A technique, as well as select implementations thereof, pertaining to dual receive processing in wireless communications is described. The technique may involve receiving, by a plurality of receive processing modules, an incoming signal from an antenna to provide a plurality of processing results. The technique may also involve generating, by a determination mechanism, a determination output based on the plurality of processing results. The determination output may include either one or more decoding metrics based on a respective processing result from one of the plurality of receive processing modules or a weighted combination of more than one respective processing result from more than one receive processing module of the plurality of receive processing modules. The technique may further involve decoding, by a decoder, the determination output to provide a decoded signal.

  • Patent number: 10142138
    Abstract: A mobile communication device including a wireless transceiver and a controller is provided. The wireless transceiver includes a single interference cancellation or suppression receiver and is configured to perform wireless transmission and reception to and from a cellular station. The controller is configured to receive signaling information of a Multi-User Superposition Transmission (MUST) operation from the cellular station via the wireless transceiver, determine whether to perform a Network-Assisted Interference Cancellation and Suppression (NAICS) operation or the MUST operation according to the signaling information, and not perform both the NAICS operation and the MUST operation simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 9924463
    Abstract: Techniques and examples pertaining to controlling power consumption of a mobile terminal are described. First information regarding at least one aspect of a mobile terminal, as sensed by the at least one sensor, may be received. Second information related to the first information may be transmitted to a remote terminal. Third information may be received from the remote terminal. The third information may be determined by the remote terminal based at least in part on the second information, information about data to be transmitted to or from the mobile terminal, one or more wireless communication variables, or a combination thereof. At least one operational parameter of a wireless transceiver of the mobile terminal may be controlled based on the third information.
