  • Patent number: 12089153
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for renegotiating target wake time (TWT) parameters used for transmitting Bluetooth-encoded audio frames over one or more Wi-Fi channels. In some implementations, a software-enabled access point (softAP) paired with a peripheral device based on a Bluetooth protocol and associated with the peripheral device via a WLAN link transmits one or more first Bluetooth-encoded audio frames indicating a current time-to-play (TTP) value for audio data to the peripheral device over the WLAN link during a first TWT session. The softAP detects a change in the WLAN link, and obtains new TWT parameters and a new TTP value responsive to the detected change. The softAP indicates the new TWT parameters and the new TTP value to the peripheral device in conjunction with tearing down the first TWT session, and establishes a second TWT session with the peripheral device based at least in part on the new TWT parameters.

The UE may receive a conditional handover (CHO) command from a first anchor cell operating a first frequency range (e.g., a Long Term Evolution (LTE) frequency range) that enables the UE to subsequently select a different anchor cell to which to perform a handover. The UE may then receive a deconfiguration from the first anchor cell of a measurement object for secondary cell addition in a second frequency range (e.g., a NR frequency range). Based on the CHO command and the deconfiguration of the measurement object, the UE may then perform a handover to a second anchor cell in the first frequency range to facilitate addition of at least one secondary cell in the second frequency range.
