Patent number: 11503472Abstract: A mobile device collects received information and processes it. In some instances, the mobile device detects, based on the collected information, that a base station is likely not legitimate, i.e., it is likely a fake base station, and the mobile device bars communication with the base station for a time. In some embodiments, the mobile device determines, based on the received information, that the base station is a genuine base station. When the mobile device determines that the base station is a genuine base station or the mobile device does not determine that it is likely the base station is a fake base station, the mobile device allows or continues communication with the base station.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2017Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Qiang Miao, Yaoqi Yan, Zhiwei Wang

Publication number: 20220240079Abstract: A user equipment (UE) includes first and second subscriber identity modules (SIMs), possibly subscribed to different carriers. When the first SIM is in a connected state and the second SIM is in an idle state, the UE may need to periodically tune away a radio from a first frequency used for communication under the first SIM to a second frequency used for idle mode activity under the second SIM. The UE may provide to the network of the first SIM the second SIMs traffic activity pattern and/or serving frequency so that the network may provide coordinated configuration and/or scheduling for the UE device, e.g., in order to make the action of tuning away (and tuning back) the radio more efficient and/or to decrease the network impact of such radio tune aways (e.g., to decrease wasted uplink scheduling and wasted downlink transmissions for the first SIM).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2022Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Srirang A.

Publication number: 20220072175Abstract: Devices and associated methods for operating a dual-subscriber identity module (SIM) dual-standby (DSDS) user equipment device (UE) configured with a first SIM and a second SIM. The UE performs communications with a first cellular network using the first SIM and a first radio resource control (RRC) connection, and receives a request to perform a higher priority communication using the second SIM. In response to the request to perform the higher priority communication, the UE transmits a request to the first network to suspend the first RRC connection. After transmission of the request to suspend the first RRC connection, the UE receives a message from the first network to place the first RRC connection in an inactive state, and initiates a timer, wherein the timer is used to determine whether the first RRC connection remains in the inactive state or transitions to an idle state.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Inventors: Srirang A.

Patent number: 11212697Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment (UE) device to adaptively enhance the quality of service (QoS) configuration of a bearer of communications conducted over a cellular network between a UE application and a server. The UE may use various information, including a QoS profile associated with the application, to determine requested QoS parameters and/or whether the UE is permitted to request or access enhanced QoS functionality. The UE may then send a request to the cellular network indicating the requested QoS parameters, and the network may adjust the QoS configuration of the bearer in response. The UE and the network may perform routine QoS measurements and exchange information in order to adaptively maintain and optimize the QoS configuration. These techniques may tend to provide more appropriate QoS to the application, which may improve user experience.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2019Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Faraz Faheem, Jianxiong Shi, Li Su, Sreevalsan Vallath, Yingjie Zhao, Yaoqi Yan, Jishan Gao

Patent number: 11076359Abstract: A device, system, and method adaptively adjusts uplink power transmission to component carriers in carrier aggregation. The method is performed at a user equipment configured with a carrier aggregation functionality including a primary component carrier (PCC) and a secondary component carrier (SCC), the UE using a first transmit power for an uplink transmission on the PCC and using a second transmit power for the uplink transmission on the SCC. The method includes determining whether a total transmit power including the first and second transmit powers for the uplink transmission exceeds a predetermined threshold. The method includes, when the total transmit power exceeds the predetermined threshold, adjusting the first transmit power based on a connectivity parameter for the PCC. The method includes adjusting the second transmit power based on the adjusting of the first transmit power.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2017Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Zhu Ji, Ruirui Zong, Wenshan Pan, Lei Li, Yaoqi Yan, Elliot S.
