  • Patent number: 11382056
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques and systems for location-based resource scheduling, to reduce or eliminate receiving transmissions, by the base station, over one or more communication resources allocated for another communication. In some aspects, a user device (102) establishes a wireless connection (106) with a base station (104). The user device (102) receives, from the base station (104), a propagation delay message (304). The propagation delay message (304) schedules a delay for a transmission of the user device (102). The delay is based on a location of the user device (1020) being outside of a standard distance (614) from the base station (104). The user device (102) then transmits, to the base station (104), the transmission according to the propagation delay message (304).

  • Patent number: 11356842
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) includes first and second subscriber identity modules (SIMs), possibly subscribed to different carriers. When the first SIM is in a connected state and the second SIM is in an idle state, the UE may need to periodically tune away a radio from a first frequency used for communication under the first SIM to a second frequency used for idle mode activity under the second SIM. The UE may provide to the network of the first SIM the second SIMs traffic activity pattern and/or serving frequency so that the network may provide coordinated configuration and/or scheduling for the UE device, e.g., in order to make the action of tuning away (and tuning back) the radio more efficient and/or to decrease the network impact of such radio tune aways (e.g., to decrease wasted uplink scheduling and wasted downlink transmissions for the first SIM).
