  • Publication number: 20250240684
    Abstract: User equipment (UE) speed awareness for mobility management reduces handovers for rapidly moving UEs that are in connected mode, reducing handover-induced dropped calls and traffic interruptions. Examples determine a speed of a UE and, based on at least determining that the speed of the UE exceeds a first threshold speed, prioritize the lowest available frequency band for the UE. Prioritizing the lowest frequency band comprises: based on at least the UE already using the lowest frequency band: not instructing the UE to perform an inter-frequency measurement; and/or not performing an inter-frequency handover to a higher frequency band; and based on at least the UE not already using the lowest frequency band: instructing the UE to perform an inter-frequency measurement for the lowest frequency band; and based on at least the lowest frequency band being available for the UE, instructing a handover of the UE to the lowest frequency band.

  • Publication number: 20250220475
    Abstract: Solutions are disclosed that provide for user equipment (UE) initiated intelligent adaptive measurement gaps. A stationary (non-moving) UE has a reduced likelihood of requiring a handover (HO) to a neighboring cell and thus, unless the serving cell has degraded or interference has increased, a reduced urgency of measuring signal reception from neighboring cells. A UE receives a radio resource control (RRC) message specifying a measurement gap repetition period (MGRP) from a wireless network, and upon determining that it has been stationary (within some range) for a threshold length of time, skips a measurement gap specified by the MGRP. In some examples, the UE uses changes (or lack thereof) in the uplink timing advance to ascertain whether it has moved or been stationary. In some examples, the MGRP is indicated as having one of four values: 20 milliseconds (ms), 40 ms, 80 ms, and 160 ms.

  • Publication number: 20250168863
    Abstract: Described herein are device(s) of a mobile network operator (MNO) configured to allocate one or more physical resource blocks (PRBs) for an uplink channel to receive a communication from a user equipment (UE) that is receiving a broadcast of broadcast content over a downlink channel. The communication from the UE is associated with the broadcast content or with the transmission of the broadcast content. The device(s) of the MNO then receive the communication from the UE over the uplink channel and provide information based on the communication to a broadcast provider that provided the broadcast content for broadcast over the downlink channel.

  • Publication number: 20250142384
    Abstract: Solutions are disclosed that provide intelligent adaptive measurement gaps for low mobility user equipment (UEs), such as home internet access points. Because low mobility (stationary use) UE do not move, or move only infrequently, the frequency for of handovers to neighboring cells is reduced, lowering the urgency of measuring signal reception from neighboring cells. A wireless network determines that a first UE is associated with a stationary use, and that a second UE is not. The network transmits a first radio resource control (RRC) message specifying a measurement gap repetition period (MGRP) and an indication to skip at least one measurement gap, to the first UE, and transmits a second RRC message specifying the MGRP, without an indication to skip a measurement gap, to the second UE. In some examples, the MGRP is indicated as having one of four values: 20 milliseconds (ms), 40 ms, 80 ms, and 160 ms.

  • Patent number: 12287544
    Abstract: In a backlight module of a display apparatus, the base substrate is a flat plate structure, so that the backlight module can be prevented from being subjected to a bending internal stress, thereby avoiding a damage to the backlight module and ensuring a yield of the display apparatus. At the same time, the difference of backlight brightness provided by the backlight module to different regions of the display panel is smaller, so that brightness uniformity of different regions of the display apparatus can be ensured, and a display effect of the display apparatus is better.

  • Patent number: 12273936
    Abstract: The system receives orbital information for at least one satellite of a non-terrestrial network. The orbital information includes the location and velocity of the at least one satellite. The system determines a location of a wireless device and the wireless device's location relative to the at least one satellite. The system calculates a connectivity window based on the relative location. The connectivity window is a time period at the location of the wireless device during which the wireless device receives a signal from the at least one satellite to perform a network connection with the non-terrestrial network. The system connects the wireless device to the non-terrestrial network when the connectivity window of the at least one satellite is open. The system prevents the wireless device from searching for a network connection to the non-terrestrial network when the wireless device is outside the connectivity window of the at least one satellite.

  • Publication number: 20250113323
    Abstract: Solutions are disclosed that perform intelligent select whether to transmit a system information block 1 (SIB1) message to a user equipment (UE) during a handover. The wireless network determines whether the UE will be moving to a target basestation having a different tracking area code (TAC) than the source basestation. If so, the source basestation sends the SIB1 for the target basestation to the UE with the handover command, so that the UE is alerted to perform a mobility registration update (MRU) with the new TAC. However, if the UE will be moving to a target basestation having the same TAC as the source basestation, the source basestation sends the handover command without the SIB1 for the target basestation, to save network bandwidth. In some examples, the source basestation queries the target basestation to learn the TAC of the target basestation.

  • Publication number: 20250047919
    Abstract: A method for facilitating streamer interaction with a viewer includes extracting a history topic based on an activity record of the viewer; calculating a score of each of the history topics based on at least one parameter; and generating a topic suggestion based on the history topic and the score which is corresponding to the history topic, and providing the topic suggestion to the streamer. The method is suitable for providing a topic suggestion (or interact topic suggestion) with respect to the viewer to the streamer via a live-streaming platform executed by a computing device. Thereby, the method can be used for facilitating streamer interaction with viewers and provides an appropriate topic suggestion. In addition, a computing device and a computer-readable storage medium which are capable of implementing the method are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20250039256
    Abstract: UEs can determine a codec to use for a call based on a codec priority list. A UE can dynamically determine a priority order for the codec priority list based on call conditions experienced by the UE, such that a low bitrate codec may be indicated as the highest priority on the codec priority list if the UE is experiencing relatively poor call conditions. The UE that receives the codec priority list can select a codec from the codec priority list to use during the call. The UE that receives the codec priority list may select one of the listed codecs based on call conditions experienced by that UE, such that the UE may select a low bitrate codec due to relatively poor call conditions being experienced by that UE even if the low bitrate codec is not identified on the codec priority list as the highest-priority codec.
