  • Patent number: 10798623
    Abstract: A mobile terminal device may include a measurement circuit, a critical scenario identification circuit, and a measurement report control circuit. The measurement circuit may be configured to measure one or more received radio signals to generate one or more measurement results. The critical scenario identification circuit may be configured to perform a comparison between a first set of the one or more measurement results and predefined criteria associated with handover disruption. The measurement report control circuit may be configured to select a selected reporting configuration from a default handover speed reporting configuration and an accelerated handover speed reporting configuration based on the comparison, wherein the accelerated handover speed reporting configuration produces a lower expected handover latency than the default handover speed reporting configuration and to transmit a second set of the one or more measurement results according to the selected reporting configuration.

  • Publication number: 20200314600
    Abstract: A communication device adapted for communicating in a communication system can include a receiver, a processor, and a transmitter. The receiver can receive (e.g., capture, sniff) information from one or more wireless devices (e.g., vehicles) using a first communication technology (e.g., V2X technologies). The processor can process the received information to generate system information associated with the communication system. The transmitter can transmit the system information to one or more wireless devices using a second communication technology (e.g., LTE) different from the first communication technology.

  • Publication number: 20200228264
    Abstract: A method for controlling a bandwidth used for processing a baseband transmit signal by a transmit path of a transmitter is provided. The method includes generating a first comparison result by comparing, to a threshold value, a first number of physical resource blocks allocated to the transmitter for a first transmission time interval. Further, the method includes generating a second comparison result by comparing, to the threshold value, a second number of physical resource blocks allocated to the transmitter for a subsequent second transmission time interval. The method additionally includes adjusting the bandwidth based on the first and the second comparison results.

  • Patent number: 10397667
    Abstract: A mobile communication device consistent with the present disclosure may automatically fold itself in order to reorient an antenna within the device housing. This reorientation may result in changes in antenna power efficiency and/or signal strength. As another example, the same or a similar device may automatically fold itself such that an onboard camera fixed to the device may be dynamically reoriented to, e.g., track a subject, record a panoramic image or video, account for motion of a subject or of the device, etc. The automatic self-folding nature of these or other devices is particularly advantageous in that it does not require manual manipulation by a user. Folding may be performed by inducing a torque about a pivot axis using one or more torque mechanisms (e.g., motors).
