  • Patent number: 12284703
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20250113327
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to systems and methods for interference mitigation in satellite communication. For satellite communication, an electronic device may perform a GNSS position fix prior to establishing satellite communication. In some cases, a GNSS downlink frequency band may be close to a satellite uplink frequency band, and as a result a first device communicatively connecting to a satellite downlink frequency band may interfere with one or more other devices in close proximity attempting to connect to the GNSS uplink frequency band, and consequently the first device may prevent the one or more other devices from performing the GNSS position fix. Because of this, one electronic device may block satellite communication for multiple other electronic devices. This may be particularly relevant in situations involving large crowds (e.g., festivals, sporting events), during calamity events, and/or in outdoor scenarios (e.g., group hikes).

  • Publication number: 20250105908
    Abstract: Methods, devices, and apparatus to adapt operating parameters for satellite signal reception and transmission by a wireless device to mitigate effects of fading due to specular reflections are described herein. The wireless device measures received signal power levels and compares characteristics of the measurements over an observation duration to at least one fading criteria to determine whether to operate in a normal or adaptive mode. While operating in the adaptive mode, the wireless device alternates between high performance mode time periods and low performance mode time periods. The wireless device indicates to a ground station associated with the satellite in which operating mode the wireless device is operating via an uplink data message transmitted during a data cycle at the start of a high or low performance mode time period. The ground station schedules data transmissions accordingly during subsequent data cycles of the high or low performance mode time periods.

  • Publication number: 20250080306
    Abstract: Techniques described herein includes solutions for mitigating interference related to antenna switching. A user equipment (UE) may determine a potential for interference to data reception on a second frequency band due to antenna switching associated with transmission of reference signals on a first frequency band. In response to the determination, the UE may select one or more interference mitigation measures based on an operating mode of the UE and one or more UE parameters. An interference mitigation measure may include backing off on a reported value, such as a channel quality indicator (CQI), rank indicator (RI), or reference signal received power (RSRP). The interference mitigation measure may further include skipping reference signal transmission on the first frequency band and the antenna switching associated therewith.

  • Patent number: 12245050
    Abstract: The embodiments disclosed herein include capturing images via cameras or light sensors of a mobile communication device, processing the image to determine obstructed (e.g., by foliage) portions and unobstructed (e.g., open sky) portions of the images, and generating a grid indicating the obstructed and unobstructed portions. The device may then adjust operating characteristics, such as synchronizing with a communication hub or other mobile communication device, performing a handover with the communication hub or other mobile communication device, determining transmission power or an amount to increase transmission power, selecting an antenna, determining a beam direction, determining a discontinuous reception cycle or a frequency for receiving data, providing an indication to stop or proceed through certain areas (e.g., to take advantage of areas with higher signal quality or avoid areas with lower signal quality), and the like, based on the obstructed and unobstructed portions identified in the grid.

  • Publication number: 20250063425
    Abstract: A cellular communications system may include a user equipment (UE) that executes a target and non-target applications. The UE may convey a first stream of non-quality-of-service (QoS) wireless data with a first external device over a first Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) session and may receive a second stream of non-QoS wireless data from a second external device over a second TCP session. Responsive to a drop in data rate of the first stream, the UE may perform mitigation operations that adjust receipt of the second stream to boost the data rate of the first stream. The mitigation operations may include transmission of a triple duplicate acknowledgement (TDA), delayed transmission of an acknowledgment (ACK) to the second stream, and/or terminating the second TCP session. This may prevent disruptions to user experience with the first software application even when the network has downlink data to transmit to the UE.

  • Publication number: 20250055490
    Abstract: This application sets forth techniques for mitigating radio frequency (RF) interference from wired connections on cellular wireless reception quality, including pre-emptively determining when to perform RF interference mitigation based on various factors. An interference mitigation module in the wireless device determines whether to perform an interference mitigation procedure based on active and/or imminent use of a high-speed wired connection port for data transfer in parallel with a cellular wireless connection that uses a mid-frequency RF band or a high-frequency RF band. The wireless device determines a target cell in a low-frequency RF band and biases measurement reports sent to a cellular wireless network to handover and keep the cellular wireless connection to the target cell in the low-frequency RF band while a high-speed wired connection is active.

  • Publication number: 20250048058
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques that may be utilized to transmit radio frequency (RF) signals to an electronic device. A distance that a first electronic device of a plurality of electronic devices is located from a second electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices may be determined. Additionally, that the distance exceeds a first threshold distance may be determined. Whether the first electronic device is communicatively coupled to a cellular network, whether the distance exceeds a second threshold distance that is greater than the first threshold distance, or both are also determined. The RF signals radio frequency (RF) signals to be transmitted to the first electronic device by a satellite based on the first electronic device not being communicatively coupled to the cellular network, the distance exceeding the second threshold, or both.

  • Publication number: 20240397501
    Abstract: This disclosure provides various techniques for decreasing the time it takes user equipment to tune away from a compromised network connection. By more quickly detecting a signal characteristic issue (e.g., signal quality issue) in the compromised signal and performing mitigation actions, the user equipment may decrease power consumption and increase data throughput. The signal quality issue may be detected by monitoring the location of the user equipment, a channel impulse response of the user equipment, and/or a block error rate (BLER) of a signal, among other methods. The data obtained may be fed into confidence validation logic, which may determine a level of confidence that the signal quality issue may cause a weak or broken connection between the user equipment and a network. The confidence validation logic may, based on the determination, operate the user equipment in an active state, a suspend state, or a release state.
