Patent number: 12200600Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for a UE to determine whether to maintain or remove a radio frequency (RF) path from a set of candidate paths considered for transmit antenna switch diversity (ASDIV). The determination allows the UE to avoid signal loss or degradation in coexisting networks at similar frequency ranges. For example, ASDIV allows two or more antennas to form different input and output ports to establish different RF paths. Coexistent networks, such as wireless wide-area-network (WWAN) and wireless local-area-network (WLAN) may utilize different RF paths to optimize reliability and efficiency. The overlapping of the bands may cause signal attenuation or degradation from at least one of the networks. The present disclosure provides techniques for detecting signal attenuation at least partially caused by overlapping bands and removing an associated RF path to avoid such signal loss or attenuation.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2022Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Thawatt Gopal, Michael Lee McCloud, David Maldonado, Joseph David Paulino, Sridhar Bandaru, Shriram Gurumoorthy

Patent number: 11877335Abstract: In a dual network link scenario, a wireless network may provide a user equipment (UE) with a measurement configuration indicating multiple inter-frequency measurement objects during an off duration of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle configured on a first network link. The UE may assign the inter-frequency measurement objects to a second network link if the second network link has an always-on configuration. Alternatively, if the second network link has a DRX configuration, the UE may perform some inter-frequency measurement activities on the first network link and assign some inter-frequency measurement objects to unoccupied gap occasions in the off duration for the DRX cycle configured on the second network link. In this way, the UE may save power by spending more time in a low power state, and mobility performance for the UE may be improved by increasing the efficiency and reliability of inter-frequency measurement activities.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2022Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Yuanbo Wang, Yue Hong, Arvind Vardarajan Santhanam, Thawatt Gopal, Xiaoning Lu, Defang Chen, Viswanath Sankaran, Xiao Cheng, Christopher James Pais, Harsimransingh Narindersingh Bindra, Parth AshwinKumar Pandya, Billy Andika
