Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for smart power saving at a user equipment (UE), comprising a first and second transmit chain. According to aspects, the UE may identify one or more subframes in which the second transmit chain is not scheduled for uplink (UL) transmissions, determine the first transmit chain is scheduled for UL transmissions during at least a portion of the identified subframes, and perform envelope tracking (ET) for a scheduled uplink transmission using, at least portions of the first and second transmit chains during the determined at least a portion of the identified subframes.

Abstract: An intelligent remote touch mechanism is provided. In one aspect, a device with a touch screen initiates remote wireless access of the device by a remote device by receiving a remote access command without using its touch screen. The device authorizes remote wireless access by the remote device based on an authorization code received from the remote device. The device may receive a remote command from the remote device. In another aspect, a device receives a notification regarding the availability of remote wireless access to a touch screen device. The device transmits an authorization code to the touch screen device. The device receives a confirmation that remote wireless access to the touch screen device is enabled. The device receives, by its touch screen, a command for performing a function at the device. The device transmits the command wirelessly to the touch screen device.

Abstract: A method for managing processing load by an electronic device is described. The method includes determining to offload a task being executed on the electronic device. The method also includes communicating with a peer device. The method further includes determining that the peer device is capable of executing the task based on the communication. The method additionally includes offloading the task to the peer device. The method also includes receiving an output of the task. The output is generated while the peer device is executing the task.

Abstract: A communication device may be configured to access a plurality of subscriptions for a plurality of providers. For example, a communication device may be configured with at least one subscriber identity module (SIM). For a communication device having a plurality of subscriptions accessible thereto, the selection of a subscription to connect to a destination network may be configurable. The selection of a subscription from a plurality of available subscriptions may be based on a cost (e.g., financial cost, data cost, or another resource) associated with connecting to a destination network using different subscriptions. For example, a first subscription may be selected if connection to the destination network is more expensive using a second subscription and/or if the balance on the second subscription is too low.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications. In some aspects, a device may determine a peak to average ratio (PAR) value for a portion of a wireless transmission. In some aspects, the device may cause, based on the PAR value, a voltage to be applied to a power amplifier of the device to cause the device to transmit the portion of the wireless transmission.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive sensor information from a sensor associated with the user equipment, wherein the user equipment is in a deep sleep mode when the sensor information is received. The user equipment may deactivate the deep sleep mode, based at least in part on receiving the sensor information, to permit the user equipment to transmit or decode a network communication.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for determining a location of a wireless mobile device. In an aspect, the wireless mobile device determines whether there is a preferred subscription for performing positioning operations of the wireless mobile device at a coarse location of the wireless mobile device, wherein the preferred subscription is one of a plurality of subscriptions associated with the wireless mobile device that provides a more accurate location of the wireless mobile device than remaining subscriptions of the plurality of subscriptions, and, responsive to a determination that the preferred subscription for performing the positioning operations of the wireless mobile device at the coarse location of the wireless mobile device exists, utilizes the preferred subscription for the positioning operations of the wireless mobile device.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for managing radio power consumption in a mobile communication device. A processor of a mobile communication device may monitor a processing demand of a modem processor in the mobile communication device, and the device processor may compare the processing demand of the modem processor to a demand threshold. The device processor may select a power-saving mode for a radio of the mobile communication device based on the comparing, and the device processor may apply power to the radio based on the selected power-saving mode.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable a multi-SIM multi-active (MSMA) communication device to operate a power amplifier in a power saving envelope tracking mode when a first radio frequency (RF) resource is supporting data transmission to a communication network associated with a first SIM and a second RF resource is supporting a voice call in discontinuous transmission mode. A MSMA communication device processor may monitor the second RF resource supporting the voice call for silence periods, the power amplifier of the first RF resource may operate in a first power-saving mode during silence periods on the voice call, and the power amplifier of the first RF resource may operate in a second power-saving mode when the voice call on second RF resource is not in a period of silence. Periods of silence may be determined by monitoring a protocol stack of the second RF resource for silence descriptor (SID) frames scheduled for transmission.
