Publication number: 20230397095Abstract: A device executing a low-latency application that uses a Wi-Fi link may switch from the Wi-Fi link to using a second link to a multi-subscriber (MSIM) PHS device. The device may access, via the second link, any one of multiple cellular links, each cellular link corresponding to a different respective cellular subscription of multiple subscriptions used by the PHS device. The application executing on the device may thus use a preferred cellular link from among the multiple cellular links. The preferred cellular link may be determined based on parameters corresponding to the plurality of cellular links for each respective cellular subscription. The parameters may be obtained from a location database. The preferred cellular link (which may presently correspond to a primary subscription) on the PHS device may be switched to be a different cellular link (which may correspond to a non-primary subscription) during execution of the application on the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2022Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Bharath Jayaram, Ajoy K.

Publication number: 20230397271Abstract: This application describes methods and apparatus to manage data transport across multiple radio links for 5G-capable wireless devices. Under certain criteria, including performance of at least one radio link, a mobility state of a 5G-capable wireless device, and data transport requirements for a latency sensitive application session, the 5G-capable wireless device sends buffer status report (BSR) requests for one or more both of the radio links to prioritize and transition uplink (UL) data between radio links before a measurement reporting threshold is met. In some embodiments, the 5G-capable wireless device proactively sends BSR requests for radio resources before the UL data is generated by the latency sensitive application session. In some embodiments, the 5G-capable wireless device duplicates UL data for the latency sensitive application session across multiple radio links.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2022Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Vijendrakumar K. ASHIWAL, Bharath JAYARAM, Sandeep K. SUNKESALA, Sanjeevi BALASUBRAMANIAN, Sharad GARG, Vijay GADDE, Vijay VENKATARAMAN, Weidong YANG

Publication number: 20230122107Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device may reside in a state of dual connectivity with a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG), wherein the radio access technologies of the MCG and the SCG are different. While in the dual connectivity state, the UE device may transition to a mode of reduced activity (e.g., processing and/or RF activity) relative to the secondary cell group (SCG) in order to save power, e.g., when traffic flow via the SCG is below a threshold, or when scheduling activity on the SCG is low. Various mechanisms may be employed to reduce activity, e.g., mechanisms such as reduction of beam monitoring, deactivation of secondary cells of the SCG, reduction of number of active antenna elements, employment of longer periods for periodic measurement and reporting processes, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Wei Zhang, Frangli Xu, Haitong Sun, Sriram Subramanian, Vishwanth Kamala Govindaraju, Johnson O.

Patent number: 11387949Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods and devices for transmitting acknowledgment messages on a preferred cell in a carrier aggregation scenario. A user equipment device (UE) establishes a connection with a primary cell and one or more secondary cells, and determines a preferred cell from among the primary cell and the one or more secondary cells based at least in part on one or more quality metrics. The UE may determine the preferred cell at least in part in response to determining that transmission power of the UE has been limited due to a specific absorption rate (SAR) backoff feature of the UE. The UE transmits a notification to a network indicating that the UE intends to transmit an acknowledgement message to the preferred cell, and transmits the acknowledgment message to the preferred cell.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Sriram Subramanian, Tarakkumar G.

Publication number: 20210297885Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may skip certain measurements when it is unlikely that the UE will use the measurements. The UE determines that the UE is configured with one of a measurement gap or gapless measurements, identifies that a predetermined condition has been satisfied and implements a mitigation technique in response to identifying that the predetermined condition has been satisfied, wherein the mitigation technique includes omitting performing one of a measurement during the measurement gap or a gapless measurement, wherein the measurement or the gapless measurement corresponds to a first radio access technology (RAT) that is different than a second RAT on which the UE is currently camped.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2021Publication date: September 23, 2021Inventors: Tarakkumar G.
