  • Patent number: 12200702
    Abstract: Methods and/or apparatus for reducing or avoiding (IDC) in-device coexistence problems in devices which support multiple communications protocols, e.g., WiFi and LTE, are described. In various embodiments a WiFi AP can request or require devices, e.g., STAs to report IDC information pertinent to the individual device. This is done by sending one or more trigger frames, e.g., as part of a multicast or unicast operation. Alternatively, devices can voluntarily report IDC information. The AP, e.g., WiFi AP, takes the IDC information it receives, e.g., from multiple devices, e.g., STAs, into account when scheduling UL resources to be used by the wireless devices. By taking into consideration the IDC information provided by STAs, IDC conflicts can be avoid even though a WiFi AP is scheduling resources for WiFi communication in devices which are also using resources for another communications standard, e.g., LTE, over which the AP does not have control.

  • Patent number: 12184530
    Abstract: A method for selecting a recommended node in a behavior deviation model includes: determining a candidate path starting from a delegation node to a target node based on a preset network topology; determining candidate recommended nodes passing through each candidate path, and acquiring a first behavior deviation corresponding to the target node at each candidate node; reading a second behavior deviation of each candidate recommended node from a central node in the network topology; calculating an average deviation value for the target node based on second behavior deviations and first behavior deviations; determining a candidate path with the smallest average deviation value as a target candidate path; and in response to the average deviation value of the target candidate path being less than or equal to a preset warning value, determining the candidate recommended node on the target candidate path as a recommended node.

  • Patent number: 12177710
    Abstract: A device control system is disclosed. The system includes a first mobile terminal and a second mobile terminal. After enabling a wireless hotspot function, the first mobile terminal establishes a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) connection to the second mobile terminal, and transmits data to the second mobile terminal in a MIMO Wi-Fi antenna working mode. The first mobile terminal may monitor a remaining battery level and/or a device temperature of the mobile terminal. When the remaining battery level is less than a first battery level threshold and/or the device temperature is greater than a first temperature threshold, the first mobile terminal switches the Wi-Fi antenna working mode as SISO, limits a maximum forwarding rate of a TCP packet or a UDP packet to a first rate, and/or no longer responds to a probe request. In this way, power consumption of the first mobile terminal is reduced.

  • Patent number: 12167370
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support resource selection and indication for sidelink demodulation reference signal (DMRS) bundling. A transmitting UE determines sidelink resources for bundling a sidelink DMRS transmission to be transmitted to a receiving UE. In sidelink mode 1, the sidelink resources may be determined based on indications from a base station, which may include whether the transmitting UE is to maintain phase continuity over the sidelink resources during the bundling, or whether the transmitting UE is to include a phase jump reference signal with the bundled DMRS transmission to the receiving UE. In sidelink mode 2, the transmitting UE may select the sidelink resources based on the phase continuity capabilities of the transmitting UE and/or of the receiving UE, and/or based on a sensing of the sidelink channel. In some cases, the receiving UE may provide a resource recommendation to the transmitting UE.
