Abstract: Apparatus and methods for sounding reference signal (SRS) switching are provided. In certain embodiments, a controller internal to the power amplifier module initiates a sequence of instructions, in response to a single command from UE. The instructions cause a reduction in RF signal amplitude at the power amplifier output and then cause the antenna switch to actuate. Thus ensuring a single command transition and preventing over-power on the power amplifier and antenna switch. The teachings herein can be used to facilitate reduction in gap times between transitions on different antennas and avoid the use of a blank symbol before and after each SRS symbol.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for identifying an application (e.g., accessing application) that is attempting to access a resource. In some examples, access may be managed by an authentication service. When an access request is received at the authentication service from an application on a client device, the authentication service may ask the application to communicate with an identification agent on the client device. The identification agent may perform one or more tests to discover the identity of the application. In some cases, the identification agent may send the identity of the application to the authentication service. The authentication service may then allow or deny access by the accessing application to the resource based at least in part on the discovered identity.
