Abstract: A mobile radio terminal device may include a processor configured to receive information that one or more antennas of the mobile radio terminal device are in proximity of a human body part of a user of the mobile radio terminal device, modify a transmission configuration of the mobile radio terminal device based on the received information, and generate a message representing the changed transmission configuration.

Abstract: Devices with radiating antennas are subject to various regulations designed to limit the absorption of radiofrequency energy in a human body part in close proximity to a radiating antenna. Various conventional strategies are available for management of transmissions to comply with these regulations; however, each of these conventional strategies has drawbacks, such as a negative effect on the wireless link. Various strategies are disclosed herein to comply with the requisite regulations while maintaining the wireless link. In addition, strategies are presented to select wireless link rates, taking into account limitations that may be in place to satisfy the necessary regulations.

Abstract: A mobile communication device including a processor configured to: retrieve a first isolation metric from a lookup table between an antenna and a first further antenna; retrieve a second isolation metric from a lookup table between the antenna and the second further antenna; determine that the second isolation metric is greater than the first isolation metric; and switch transmitting the signal from the first further antenna to the second further antenna.

Abstract: A wireless modem device. The device includes a plurality of transceivers, a plurality of antenna ports, a plurality of RF multiplexers, and a plurality of switches. Each transceiver is configured to process a radio frequency (RF) signal in a specific frequency band. Each antenna port is coupled to one of a plurality of antennas. Each RF multiplexer is configured to split an RF signal received via a common port of the RF multiplexer to one of frequency-specific ports of the RF multiplexer based on a frequency band of the RF signal and combine RF signals received via the frequency-specific ports into the common port, wherein the common port of each RF multiplexer is coupled to one of the antenna ports. Each switch is configurable by software to couple one of the transceivers to one of the antenna ports.

Abstract: A method comprising: retrieving a predefined power threshold; determining a transmission power of a transmitting antenna, wherein the transmitting antenna is actively transmitting a signal; retrieving a predefined transmission time interval; determining that the transmission power exceeds the predefined power threshold; determining a duration of transmitting the signal; comparing the duration with the predefined transmission time interval; and switching transmitting the signal from the transmitting antenna to a further antenna when the duration equals the predefined transmission time interval.

Abstract: Techniques for wireless audio device selection are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a compute device uses visual training to recognize headphones worn by a user. When the user puts on the headphones, the compute device may recognize the headphones and automatically route audio output to the headphones. In some embodiments, when selecting from several possible wireless audio output devices, the compute device may determine a distance to each of the wireless audio output devices and select one of the wireless audio output devices based on the distance to the wireless audio output device.

Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to include a substrate, a keyboard, and a chassis, where a portion of the chassis is between the substrate and the keyboard. A transmission line is embedded in the portion of the chassis between the substrate and the keyboard. In some examples, the portion of the chassis between the substrate and the keyboard that includes the transmission line is a support plate for the keyboard.
