  • Patent number: 8554179
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs for managing mobile device applications are described. In some aspects, a mobile device application is prevented from accessing resources of a wireless network. For example, a wireless network operator system can determine that one or more mobile device applications are disapproved for use in the wireless network. In some implementations, the wireless network operator denies the disapproved mobile device applications access to the wireless network resources. In some implementations, mobile devices disable access to the wireless network by the disapproved mobile device applications.

  • Publication number: 20130252658
    Abstract: A radiation power level control scheme for a wireless user equipment (UE) device. In one embodiment, a method comprises determining a time-average transmission power level, comparing the time-average transmission power level with a first time-averaged transmission power limit threshold, the first time-averaged transmission power limit threshold having a value that depends on a transmission power history for the UE device, and responsive to the time-average transmission power level meeting or exceeding the first time-averaged transmission power limit threshold, reducing a transmission power level of the UE device.

  • Patent number: 8538351
    Abstract: A radiation power level control system for a wireless user equipment (UE) device. In one embodiment, the system comprises a tracking component for maintaining a history of power data for the wireless UE device, the power data comprising data tracked over a time window relative to one or more variables on a per transmission event basis. A SAR determining module determines one or more SAR values during a current transmission event involving the wireless UE device, wherein the SAR determining module uses the history of power data if the current transmission event occurred within a predetermined duration from a last transmission event. An adjustment module is provided for adjusting a transmit power level of the wireless UE device if at least one of the one or more SAR values exceeds a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20130237294
    Abstract: A wireless communication device is provided. The device comprises a radio access subsystem disposed at least partially within a housing of the device. The device further comprises at least one internal antenna disposed within the housing of the device. The at least one internal antenna is communicatively coupled to the radio access subsystem. The device further comprises an external communication port disposed on the housing of the device. The external communication port is communicatively coupled to the radio access subsystem. The device further comprises a control component configured to determine whether an external antenna module is connected to the external communication port and to control the radio access subsystem to selectively use the internal antenna and the external antenna module. Selective use comprises using only the internal antenna, or using only the external antenna module, or using both the internal antenna and the external module simultaneously.

  • Publication number: 20120086819
    Abstract: Tilt imparted to video images captured by a handheld electronic communication device is identified and corrected by the disclosed method and apparatus for image orientation. The handheld device includes image capturing capability and an orientation sensor, which provides a signal representative of orientation relative to gravity to calculate an angle of rotation for the captured images suitable to compensate a difference between the orientation of the handheld device and the orientation relative to gravity. The handheld device also includes a receiver wherein the angle of rotation is recovered and used to determine the changes needed substantially eliminate the difference between the orientation of the captured images and the orientation relative to gravity.

  • Publication number: 20120021800
    Abstract: A radiation power level control scheme for a wireless user equipment (UE) device. In one embodiment, a power data history associated with the wireless UE device is maintained, the power data history comprising data tracked over a time window (e.g., a sliding time window) relative to one or more variables on a per transmission event basis. A component of the UE device is configured to determine a time-average transmission power level. Another component is configured to compare the time-average transmission power level with a first time-averaged transmission power limit threshold, the first time-averaged transmission power limit threshold having a value that depends on a transmission power data history for the UE device. A still further component is provided, operable responsive to the average transmission power level meeting or exceeding the first time-averaged transmission power limit threshold, that is configured to reduce a transmission power level of the UE device.

  • Patent number: 6842630
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, media and signals for assigning frequency channels to a beam in a multi-beam cellular communications system are disclosed. One method involves receiving an indication of channel quality representing a channel quality in the second region, of a frequency channel used in the first region to communicate with the source. The method further involves handing off the frequency channel to a transceiver in the second region to cause the transceiver in the second region to use the frequency channel to communicate with the source in the second region, in response to the indication representing at least a pre-determined minimum channel quality.
