Abstract: Some embodiments include a performance controller that can identify and selectively limit the power usage of one or more thread groups (TGs) corresponding to an application. Some embodiments include tracking power consumption (e.g., watts) of each TG. Examples of the power consumption can include central processing unit (CPU) power, neural engine (NE) power, dynamic random access memory (DRAM) power, and/or graphics processing unit (GPU) power. The tracked power metrics can be fed to a closed loop proportional-integral-derivate (PID) controller or limiter (e.g., a per-TG power limiter) that can converge the maximum power consumed by a given TG to a programmable threshold.

Abstract: Wireless transmission regulation for a frequency band associated with Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) is described. In an example, a sensor associated with a device, which is configured to operate in the frequency band, can scan at least a portion of the frequency band to generate sensor data indicating at least energy present in the portion of the frequency band. The device can determine, based at least in part on analyzing the sensor data, a presence of another device using the frequency band. The other device can be a priority user having priority access over the device. Based at least in part on determining the presence of the other device, the device can adjust a device radio frequency (RF) transmission power for transmitting communication(s) within the frequency band.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to efficiently handling execution of multiple threads to perform various actions. In some embodiments, an application instantiates a queue and a synchronization primitive. The queue maintains a set of work items to be operated on by a thread pool maintained by a kernel. The synchronization primitive controls access to the queue by a plurality of threads including threads of the thread pool. In such an embodiment, a first thread of the application enqueues a work item in the queue and issues a system call to the kernel to request that the kernel dispatch a thread of the thread pool to operate on the first work item. In various embodiments, the dispatched thread is executable to acquire the synchronization primitive, dequeue the work item, and operate on it.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamically assigning frequency resources in a wireless network are discussed herein. For example, a network device can implement a self-organizing network to allocate frequency resources to a base station based on an availability of such frequency resources, as well as data indicating one or more conditions at a base station. The network device can receive information associated with the base station, such as load information, coverage information, capability information, interference information, and the like. In some examples, the network device can use a machine learning algorithm to select frequency resources from licensed bands, a Citizens Broadband Radio Service band, or unlicensed bands. Frequency resource allocation information can be used to configure the base station to facilitate wireless communications using such frequency resources. As the conditions at a base station change over time (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly, etc.

At one or more other times, the server(s) can send, via the network, other fragments of the plurality of fragments to the device. After the device receives each fragment of the plurality of fragments, the device can make the content available for consumption.

Abstract: The systems, devices, and methods discussed herein are directed to a network for delivering to portable communication devices, or user equipment (UEs) subscribed to the network, an update for an install service, such as software and firmware, via a hybrid transport mechanism. The hybrid transport mechanism comprises initially broadcasting the update to multiple UEs simultaneously, then re-broadcasting, multicasting, multiple unicasting, and/or transmitting via a wireless local area network (WLAN), the update to a group of UEs that missed the initial broadcast and/or needing file repairs.

Abstract: Systems and processes may be implemented to evaluate current network conditions with respect to a telecommunication device and to dynamically toggle the device between a Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) communication mode and a Carrier Aggregation (CA) communication mode. The device may use either the MIMO mode or the CA mode to exchange data with a network operator while remaining locked onto a primary base station. Thus, rather than being statically assigned based on a fixed priority to use a particular communication mode for data exchanges with the primary base station, for example assigning all MIMO 4×4 capable devices to use MIMO 4×4 throughout its time within a primary cell, a device may be dynamically assigned and re-assigned to use a plurality of different communication modes at different times based on which mode will achieve optimal performance.
