Abstract: An electronic device determines whether the device is situated indoors or outdoors by analyzing communication data rates and feedback matrix transmission intervals. One or more processors assess if the communication data rate with an access point exceeds a threshold. If so, the processors obtain the feedback matrix transmission interval. When this interval exceeds another threshold, the device is determined to be indoors; otherwise, the device is outdoors. The device can switch communication channels based on this determination, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and optimizing performance. The device may also use ultra-wideband or Bluetooth.sup.™ processes to determine the location of other electronic devices and store this information in a database.

Abstract: Automatically selecting a network link for transferring data based on link performance is discussed herein. The performance of a cellular network link and the performance of a wireless local area network link are determined. If both the wireless local area network link and the cellular network link are available, the one of those two network links having the higher performance is automatically selected to connect to the internet when the electronic device is operating as a mobile hotspot, or to connect to another electronic device in a peer-to-peer (P2P) mode.

Abstract: A method provides techniques for display configuration determination for connected display devices. The method includes connecting, by a processor of an electronic device, to an external display. The method further includes determining a display size for the external display, and determining a display category for the external display, based at least in part, on the display size. The method further includes configuring, based on the display category, content presented for consumption via the display, where at least one display characteristic of the content can be modified for optimal presentation on the display.

Abstract: A computing device initiates wireless RTT ranging communication with a wireless device by specifying a source address (e.g., a MAC address or BSSID) of the wireless device in frames sent to the wireless device. The computing device determines situations in which a wireless device is using multiple source addresses. If a wireless device is using multiple source addresses, the computing device performs wireless RTT ranging with the wireless device using less than all (e.g., a single one) of the multiple source addresses. The computing device performs wireless RTT ranging with less than all of the source addresses used by the wireless device because the distance between the computing device and the wireless device is the same regardless of which of the multiple source addresses the wireless device is using.
