  • Publication number: 20240147376
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for thermal throttling for UE configured with multi-panel transceiving on FR2. In one novel aspect, the UE prioritizes throttling actions based on signal qualities of each transceiving panel. In one embodiment, the switching to the target panel from the active panel is selected as the highest priority throttling action when the signal quality of the target panel is similar to the active panel. In another embodiment, the UE further determines if the quality of the target panel is sufficient to support mmW transceiving before switching to the target panel. In one embodiment, the UE reduces one or more antennae of an active panel when the signal quality difference between the active panel and the target panel is bigger than a predefined gap threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240129766
    Abstract: A throttle control method for a mobile device include collecting input data, generating a first set of user experience indices according to the input data, and checking whether a user experience index of the first set of user experience indices satisfies a UEI threshold. The input data includes common information data, current configuration data and a plurality of throttle control parameters. Each user experience index of the first set of user experience indices is corresponding to at least one of throttle control parameter of the plurality of throttle control parameters.

  • Patent number: 11838870
    Abstract: A communication apparatus includes an antenna module, a radio transceiver and a processor. The radio transceiver transmits or receives wireless radio frequency signals to or from an air interface via the one or more antennas of the antenna module. The processor is configured to determine an actual communication capability of the communication apparatus, determine a reduced communication capability of the communication apparatus according to the actual communication capability, and report the reduced communication capability instead of the actual communication capability as a communication capability of the communication apparatus to a network device. A corresponding value of the reduced communication capability is smaller than a corresponding value of the actual communication capability.

  • Publication number: 20180199284
    Abstract: A communications apparatus includes an antenna module, multiple front-end signal processing circuits, and a processor. The antenna module transmits and receives RF signals for communicating with a network device and includes at least one antenna. Each front-end signal processing circuit is coupled to the antenna module for receiving the RF signals and processing the RF signals. The processor is coupled to the front-end signal processing circuits. The processor determines whether there is any downlink data to be received from the network device according to the content of received RF signals. When there is some downlink data to be received from the network device, the processor determines to turn off at least one front-end signal processing circuit and only use the remaining front-end signal processing circuits to process the received RF signals.
