Abstract: A component of a cellular user equipment (UE) device is configured to detect adverse radio link conditions. The component monitors a plurality of layers of a communication stack of the UE device during an active voice call. Responsive to monitoring the plurality of layers, the component detects at least one adverse radio link condition associated with the active voice call. The component provides a radio link degradation indication to a second component of the UE device in response to detecting the at least one adverse radio link condition.

Abstract: A passive energy-storage exoskeleton for assisting elbow joint is provided, which includes an upper arm unit, a lower arm unit, and an elbow joint unit located therebetween, the upper arm unit is rotatably connected with the lower arm unit. The elbow joint unit includes an anti-gravity mechanism, a coil spring mechanism, and a lower-arm-unit self-locking mechanism. The anti-gravity mechanism generates an equilibrant moment to eliminate the influence of the weight of the arm of the user and the weight of the device on the elbow joint. The lower-arm-unit self-locking mechanism is configured for locking/releasing the lower arm unit at any specified angle of rotation. The coil spring mechanism is configured for capturing and storing kinetic energy generated by rotation and swing of the arm of the user and releasing the energy as required.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) employing different radio access technologies (RATs) concurrently or successively provides the UE the opportunity to select a particular RAT to support an access service used by one or more software applications of the UE. A RAT operational control scheme provides for opportunistic enablement and disablement of a RAT and/or intra-RAT configuration so as to provide sufficient uplink and downlink throughput for supported software applications while reducing unnecessary power consumption by the UE, which often is battery powered.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for estimating baseband power consumption and using the baseband power consumption estimation to select baseband operation features. According to some embodiments, one or more baseband power consumption modifiers occurring during an estimation window may be identified. Baseband power consumption of the wireless device during the estimation window may be estimated based on the identified baseband power consumption modifiers occurring during the estimation window. Baseband data throughput of the wireless device during the estimation window may also be estimated. One or more baseband operation characteristics may be selected based at least in part on the estimated baseband power consumption during the estimation window, possibly in conjunction with the estimated baseband data throughput during the estimation window, current wireless medium conditions, and/or other considerations.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for opportunistically depowering receiver chains of a wireless device. Based on control information, a device may determine whether the current number of active receiver chains can be reduced while maintaining a target achievable code rate for a period of data reception associated with the control information. Additionally, the device may generate and use a lookup table to determine whether to depower receiver chains, and which receiver chains to depower.

Abstract: A device and method for power saving between a scheduling request and a grant. A user equipment (UE) establishes a connection to a network, the UE and the network may be configured with a Connected Discontinuous Reception (C-DRX) functionality, the C-DRX functionality including a cycle with at least one onDuration. The UE transmits, during a first subframe a scheduling request (SR) to the network, the SR corresponds to data that is to be transmitted by the UE. The UE determines a second subframe for the UE to enter an active mode of processing for a reception of a grant, the second subframe is subsequent to the first subframe and prior to a next onDuration. The UE initiates an active mode of processing for the reception of the grant during the second subframe.

Abstract: Performing measurement of a first RAT while connected to a second RAT. The UE may initially communicate with a base station of the second RAT. While maintaining a connection to the base station of the first RAT, the UE may perform base station measurement of the first RAT (e.g., using a single radio of the UE). However, the measurement of the first RAT may be influenced by various factors, such as signal quality metrics of the second RAT. For example, if signal quality metrics are high for the second RAT, measurement of the first RAT may not be desirable, e.g., for battery life reasons.
