Patent number: 10292064Abstract: Enhanced techniques may be used for identifying and reporting collision-based scenarios. In one example, a wireless modem measures a number of signals received from a number of devices that are located on the same chip as the wireless modem when a physical link between the wireless modem and an accelerometer is broken, the accelerometer is inoperable, or a combination thereof. In the event of a collision event, the wireless modem may use the measured signals to determine that the collision event has occurred and may transmit an indication of the collision event. For instance, the wireless modem may use signals from an audio sensor, a motion sensor, a global navigation satellite system (GNSS), or the like.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2017Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Yue Yang, Madhusudan Kinthada Venkata, Manjinder Singh Sandhu, Srinivasan Balasubramanian, Raj Pratha

Patent number: 10045244Abstract: A multi-antenna device configured for addressing connection performance issues in UL/DL imbalance scenarios is described. The device may identify a potential UL/DL imbalance scenario and select signal measurements associated with either a primary antenna or a diversity antenna for mobility procedures and/or mobility measurement reporting based on the detected imbalance. In one example, the device may receive a signal at both the primary and a diversity antenna and may identify an imbalance between the primary and diversity signal measurements. The device may then compare the identified imbalance with an imbalance threshold and may select the primary or diversity signal measurement for mobility procedures and/or measurement reporting based at least in part on the comparison. For instance, if the imbalance is greater than the imbalance threshold the device may use the primary signal measurements and may otherwise use the stronger of the primary or diversity signal measurements.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2016Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: Nikhil Mali, Madhusudan Kinthada Venkata, Siva Kumar Jujaray, Manjinder Singh Sandhu
