  • Patent number: 11283489
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may implement a dynamic threshold for antenna switching. The dynamic threshold may improve the percentage of time that a UE operates using an “optimal” antenna (e.g., an antenna with the highest reference signal received power (RSRP)) as compared to a static threshold. For example, a UE may communicate with another device using a first antenna. The UE may track a current communication measurement for the first antenna (e.g., an RSRP value) and may perform an antenna switching test based on the measurement. For the test, the UE may update the dynamic threshold for antenna switching based on a machine learning agent, where the agent may include a neural network that determines the updated dynamic threshold value. The UE may perform a comparison with the dynamic threshold to determine whether to switch operating antennas.

  • Patent number: 9706035
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided that facilitate providing one or more profiles to an application executing on a device. The application can request one or more profiles, which can relate to an application type. The application type can be specified in the profile request, determined based on a profile indicated in the profile request, etc. Where the application type corresponds to an operator-specific application type, one or more operator identifiers in the profile request can be verified with one or more other operator identifiers in an identity module of the device. Where the operator identifiers match, the requested profile can be provided to the application. Where the operator identifiers do not match, an invalid profile, error code, etc. can be provided to the application. In this regard, operators can control utilization of specific profiles that can be defined by the operator.

  • Patent number: 8351342
    Abstract: A roaming emulator provides a tool for emulating system determination for monitoring the operation of a wireless communication device (WCD) during system determination. A signal monitoring program and service selection protocol are stored, and a signal emulation module provides a signal emulation output in accordance with a predetermined set of data. A processing module performs a simulation of a service selection procedure based on the service selection protocol and performed in accordance with the signal monitoring program and the signal emulation output. A result of the service selection is provided by an output module. The emulator can provide emulated system scanning based on geographical or market location, and can emulate scenarios when channels from neighboring systems or markets “bleed” into the RF environment of the WCD.
