  • Patent number: 12323961
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may allocate a first amount of power to one or more radios for a time window based on radio frequency (RF) exposure information and one or more other criteria. The UE may allocate a second amount of power to a selected channel or communication utilized by at least one radio of the one or more radios for one or more time frames within the time window based on the first amount of power allocated to the at least one radio for the time window. The UE may transmit the selected channel or communication based on the first amount of power or the second amount of power. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Publication number: 20250142549
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to select a set of beams to generate energy in a first coverage region (e.g., an out-of-coverage (OOC) region) to reduce the effects of a distorted electric field. The UE may select the set of beams based on gain parameters associated with a set of antennas at the UE, where the gain parameters are determined for communications in a second coverage region (e.g., an in-coverage (INC) region). In some examples, the UE may use iterative techniques to select the beams. In some examples, the UE may select the set of beams based on calculations using a set of codebook beams associated with the second coverage region. In some examples, the UE may additionally select the set of beams for communications in the second coverage region.

  • Publication number: 20250132805
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive downlink communications with a receive beam that is formed using a set of antenna elements. The UE may measure, in parallel with the receiving the downlink communications, a channel impulse response (CIR) for each antenna element of the set of antenna elements in a round-robin fashion. The UE may generate a second receive beam or a transmit beam based at least in part on the CIRs for the set of antenna elements. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Publication number: 20250132780
    Abstract: Systems and methods for simply and efficiently configuring transceiver modules are disclosed. These systems and methods may allow the configuration of transceiver modules using values for tuning parameters that are different from standard values for those tuning parameters based on attributes of either a transceiver module or a network device with which that transceiver module is being utilized.

  • Publication number: 20250133512
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for sharing a maximum transmit power limit between a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT. In one aspect, a wireless communication apparatus may reduce the maximum transmit power limit of a first uplink signal associated with the first RAT to obtain a first transmit power. The wireless communication apparatus may allocate a second transmit power remaining from the maximum transmit power limit to a second uplink signal associated with the second RAT. The wireless communication apparatus may reduce the maximum transmit power limit when the wireless communication apparatus is located at a cell edge, and a higher priority of the first RAT in relation to the second RAT may otherwise result in the second transmit power of the second uplink signal not satisfying a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20250110888
    Abstract: A system may include a controller, a write buffer, and a device. The device may include a non-volatile memory (NVM), a first data buffer, and a second data buffer. The controller may be configured to transfer data from the write buffer to the first data buffer and the second data buffer and determine whether a power failure occurs. In response to determining that a power failure does not occur, the controller may configure the device to program data stored in at least one of the first data buffer or the second data buffer to the NVM in a first mode. In response to determining that the power failure occurs, the controller may configure the device to program data stored in at least one of the first data buffer or the second data buffer to the NVM in a second mode different from the first mode.

  • Publication number: 20250110661
    Abstract: A system may include a non-volatile memory (NVM), a first memory, a second memory that has a higher speed than the first memory, and a controller. The controller may be configured to receive a first read command from a host computer, and determine a size of one or more buffers that are allocated for one or more read commands that have been received and not returned read data to the host computer. The controller may be configured to determine a number of the one or more read commands, and determine, based on at least the size of the one or more buffers and the number of the one or more read commands, whether to start processing the first read command. In response to determining to start processing the first read command, the controller may be configured to allocate, in the first memory, a first buffer for the first read command.

  • Publication number: 20250096877
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may configure a first set of throughput targets and a second set of throughput targets for an application layer. The UE may set a target throughput rate associated with the application to a required throughput target included in the first set of throughput targets. The UE may monitor a real-time throughput rate associated with the application layer. The UE may set the target throughput rate to a value in the second set of throughput targets based at least in part on a difference between the real-time throughput rate and the required throughput target satisfying a threshold. The UE may select, from a set of candidate beams, a serving beam associated with an estimated application layer throughput that satisfies the target throughput rate. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Patent number: 12224902
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may transmit assistance information to a base station to request an update or a modification to one or more communication parameters configured at the UE. Such communication parameters may include a quantity of uplink multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) layers, a quantity of downlink MIMO layers, a minimum scheduling offset, a maximum quantity of component carriers, or a maximum aggregated bandwidth for a secondary cell group (SCG).
