  • Patent number: 12513234
    Abstract: A method of providing media content to a communication device. The method comprises retrieving subscriber attributes by a media content provider application from a subscriber database; creating a manifest of media content artifacts by the media content provider application based on identifying alignment between at least some of the media content artifacts, attributes of the communication device, and the subscriber attributes, wherein the manifest of media content artifacts identifies a list of selected media content artifacts along with a location from which the communication device can retrieve the selected media content artifacts and identifies a retrieval priority of each of the selected media content artifacts; and sending the manifest by the media content provider application to the communication device, whereby the communication device is enabled to retrieve the selected media content artifacts in a prioritized manner and install some of the selected media content artifacts in the communication device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11510152
    Abstract: A Fifth Generation New Radio (5GNR) User Equipment (UE) controls power consumption. In the 5GNR UE, control circuitry selects an initial 5GNR transmit power and signals the initial 5GNR transmit power to a 5GNR radio. The 5GNR radio transmits initial 5GNR signals at the initial 5GNR transmit power. The control circuitry identifies an excessive Uplink (UL) Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) Block Error Rate (BLER), and in response, selects a lower 5GNR transmit power and signals the lower 5GNR transmit power to the 5GNR radio. The 5GNR radio transmits subsequent 5GNR signals at the lower 5GNR transmit power. The UL HARQ BLER may be for a Long Term Evolution (LTE) access node.

  • Patent number: 11057839
    Abstract: A Fifth Generation New Radio (5GNR)/Long Term Evolution (LTE) User Equipment (UE) controls power consumption. The 5GNR/LTE UE selects a 5GNR transmit power and an LTE transmit power. The UE transmits 5GNR signals at the 5GNR transmit power and transmits LTE signals at the LTE transmit power. The UE averages Uplink (UL) Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) Block Error Rate (BLER) for an error sampling period. The UE compares the average UL HARQ BLER to an error threshold. When the average UL HARQ BLER exceeds the threshold, the UE decreases 5GNR transmit power and increases LTE transmit power. The UE may average UL path loss for a loss sampling period and compare the average UL path loss to a loss threshold. The UE may decrease 5GNR transmit power and increase LTE transmit power when the UL HARQ BLER and the UL path loss both exceed their thresholds.
