  • Patent number: 11452102
    Abstract: The various embodiments provide methods implemented in a multi-RF communication device for managing a victim subscription's de-sense by proactively implementing an RF coexistence management strategy on the victim subscription when an RF coexistence event starts. In various embodiments, a multi-RF communication device may implement an RF coexistence management strategy by determining when an aggressor subscription will de-sense a victim subscription and configuring the victim to anticipate and mitigate de-sense during the aggressor's transmissions. Thus, the various embodiments may provide dramatic improvements to the victim's overall reception performance and overall user experience.

  • Patent number: 10813108
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are presented for managing a multi-subscriber identity module (SIM) user equipment (UE) such that data throughput may be improved in a dual-SIM, dual active (DSDA) scenario. For example, a method is presented that includes acquiring first timing information of a first subscription and second timing information of a second subscription. Additionally, the example method may include detecting a first conflict between communications of the first subscription and the second subscription in a time slot of a first time interval. Moreover, the example method may include estimating one or more additional conflicts in one or more subsequent time intervals based on timing of the time slot, the first timing information, and the second timing information. Further, the example method may include respectively adjusting one or more transmit block sizes (TBS) for each of the one or more subsequent time intervals.

  • Patent number: 10594530
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described methods, systems, and devices may include sampling an input signal to obtain one or more signal windows. An amplitude of a first sample within a first signal window of the one or more signal windows may be determined to exceed an amplitude threshold. A series of cancellation pulses may be combined with the first sample within the first signal window to obtain a reduced signal, the reduced signal including one or more reduced samples each having an amplitudes within the amplitude threshold. The series of cancellation pulses may be based on a characteristic of the first sample. The reduced signal may then be transmitted. The series of cancellation pulses may be based on, for example, an envelope of the first sample. In some cases, the series of cancellation pulses may be based on a phase of the first sample.

  • Publication number: 20170325101
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a method and apparatus for monitoring and correcting a transmit signal. A first sample is taken before the signal is input to a digital to analog converter (DAC) in a transmit chain. A second sample is taken of the transmit signal after the signal has passed through the power amplifier (PA). The first and second transmit samples are then compared and an equalizer interpolation value is determined. This equalizer interpolation value is applied to the transmit signal before transmission to provide a transmit signal with improved quality. The apparatus includes a feedback receive correction unit; a time domain processor in communication with the feedback receive correction unit; a frequency domain processing equalizer in communication with the time domain processor; an equalizer interpolation unit; an absolute value squaring unit in communication with the equalizer interpolation unit; and a processor for computation of a transmit quality parameter.

The method may further comprise one or more of the following: setting the probability to a first value when the utilization level is below a first level, setting the probability to a second value when the utilization level is above the first level and below a second level, and setting the probability to a third value when the utilization level is above the second level. The second value may be adjusted based on feedback corresponding to a downlink throughput.

  • Patent number: 9484974
    Abstract: The various embodiments include methods and apparatuses for canceling nonlinear interference during concurrent communication of multi-technology wireless communication devices. Nonlinear interference may be estimated using a multilayer perceptron neural network with Hammerstein structure by dividing an aggressor signal into real and imaginary components, augmenting the components by weight factors, executing a linear combination of the augmented components, and executing a nonlinear sigmoid function for the combined components at a hidden layer of multilayer perceptron neural network to produce a hidden layer output signal. At an output layer, hidden layer output signals may be augmented by weight factors, and the augmented hidden layer output signals may be linearly combined to produce real and imaginary components of an estimated jammer signal.

  • Patent number: 9467941
    Abstract: When a user equipment (UE) is communicating wirelessly over a wireless communication network and terminates wireless communication temporarily due to power limit constraints (such as to satisfy a specific absorption rate (SAR) threshold), the UE may maintain its radio access network (RAN) identification (ID) and domain context, in order to quickly resume wireless communication, and avoid upper layer connection setup, once the UE is no longer power limited.

  • Patent number: 9462553
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) prioritizes searches and/or measurements of neighbor cells/frequencies based on a level of mobility of a UE. In one instance, the UE identifies a priority of a layer of a radio access technology (RAT) to be measured or searched and identifies a level of mobility of the UE. A sensor module of the UE may determine the level of mobility of the UE and generate an indication corresponding to the level of mobility of the UE. The UE prioritizes a periodicity of interlayer search and/or measurement based on the priority of the layer to be measured and the level of the mobility of the UE.

  • Publication number: 20160183192
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) controls power consumption of the UE based on mobility information and channel conditions experienced by the UE. In one instance, the UE determines its level of mobility based on a Doppler frequency spread of received communications. The UE disables a motion sensor when the level of mobility is above a first threshold. The UE then controls the communications based on the motion sensor and channel conditions experienced by the UE when the level of mobility is below the first threshold.

  • Patent number: 9331818
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for improved downlink data transport with hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback and a measurement gap are provided. A user equipment (UE) receives from a network a transmission grant for downlink data on a first control channel. The UE receives the data from the network via a transport channel. In response to the received data, the UE determines whether transmission of an acknowledgement message falls in a measurement gap. Upon determining that the transmission of the acknowledgement message by the UE falls in the measurement gap, and prior to receiving from the network a retransmission grant for the data on the first control channel, the UE sends the acknowledgement message on a second control channel in a sub-frame following the measurement gap. The first control channel is associated with the second control channel.

  • Patent number: 9288760
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling uplink transmit power with optimum delay is described. A transmit power control command may be received. A time slot of the transmit power control command may be determined. Based on the time slot, it may be determined to decode the transmit power control command, with a delay. The transmit power control command may be decoded, after the delay, using a transmit power control command decoding graph by determining a strength of the transmit power control command and plotting the strength on the transmit power control command decoding graph. The transmit power control command decoding graph may include regions. Decoding the transmit power control command, after the delay, may be based on a region associated with plotting the strength of the transmit power control command.
