  • Patent number: 11490363
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques and systems for user device-initiated bandwidth requests. In some aspects, a user device determines conditions related to communicating with a base station over a wireless connection. The user device selects, based on the determined conditions, a frequency bandwidth for communicating with the base station. The user device then transmits, to the base station, a request to communicate over the selected frequency bandwidth. In some implementations, the user device may receive, in response to transmitting the request, a resource grant allocating at least a portion of the selected frequency bandwidth for communicating over the wireless connection.

  • Patent number: 11425644
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed herein to provide an information processing apparatus and a control method which do not cause a reduction in the output of radio waves when a human body is not approaching. A communication unit communicates with other devices wirelessly, a detection unit detects a physical quantity varying with the approach of an object, and a control unit causes the communication unit to reduce the output of radio waves when the amount of change in physical quantity exceeds a predetermined threshold value. When a predetermined member is in a position to approach a first chassis on which the communication unit and the detection unit are mounted, the control unit compensates for a change in physical quantity detected by the detection unit due to the approach of the member.

  • Patent number: 11388558
    Abstract: In the event that a first user equipment (UE) device is unable to decode a packet received from a base station that provides Point-to-Multipoint (PTM) compatible services to UE devices within a service area (e.g., cell) of the base station, the first UE device transmits a request for retransmission of the packet. In one example, the request for retransmission is transmitted to one or more neighboring UE devices via a device-to-device (D2D) transmission. In response to the request for retransmission, one or more of the neighboring UE devices, which were able to successfully decode the same packet, retransmit the packet to the first UE device via a D2D communication link.
