  • Publication number: 20230065594
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for network traffic shaping and/or adjustment of discontinuous reception (DRX) cycles. A wireless device determines a delay between a time at which a packet is transmitted from a server, to a time of arrival of the packet at the wireless device. The wireless device determines jitter of packets arriving at the wireless device from the server. The wireless device sends a message corresponding to the determined delay and the determined jitter, to the server to perform shaping of packet traffic from the server to the wireless device according to a latency budget of the packet traffic. The wireless device adjusts a length of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle of the wireless client device, to align with and to receive the packet traffic shaped by the server.

  • Publication number: 20230010265
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for facilitating wireless communication of a wearable device. In one aspect, a wireless device receives a paging message from a cellular network, via a wireless link between the wireless device and a companion device. The paging message can be received while a cellular modem of the wireless device is operating in reduced power mode and not registered with the cellular network, and the companion device is registered with the cellular network. The wireless device can transition the cellular modem from the reduced power mode to an active mode in response to receiving the paging message via the wireless link with the companion device. The wireless device can register with the cellular network after the modem has transitioned to active mode, to establish a cellular link directly with the cellular network.
