  • Patent number: 10212755
    Abstract: A wireless access point controls Discontinuous Reception (DRX) parameters for User Equipment (UE). The wireless access point wirelessly exchanges wireless communications with a plurality of UEs comprising High Power UEs (HPUEs) and non-HPUEs. The wireless access point determines a number of the HPUEs and determines a number non-HPUEs experiencing RF interference above an RF interference threshold. The wireless access point compares the number of non-HPUEs experiencing RF interference above the RF interference threshold to the number of HPUEs and when the number of non-HPUEs experiencing RF interference above the RF interference threshold exceeds the number of HPUEs, then the wireless access point modifies the DRX parameters for the HPUEs to a low DRX parameter setting.

  • Patent number: 10186910
    Abstract: Various embodiments are described that relate to directing of a signal. An incoming signal can be compared to a threshold voltage. If the signal does not meet the threshold voltage, then the signal can be used for normal usage, such as communication with a software-defined radio. However, if the signal does meet the threshold, then the signal can be directed away from normal usage. In one example, the signal can be directed away from a communication component and directed to an energy harvesting component that charges a battery of the software-defined radio.
