Abstract: Wireless communication between a mobile device or user equipment (UE) having a plurality of antennas and a base station includes signaling a reduced capability with respect to a number of antennas used for an uplink transmission. To reduce UE power consumption, e.g., when a battery is low and/or when a throughput is low, a UE may signal a lower capability, such as one that uses fewer antennas than the UE has available for an uplink transmission. The UE may then deactivate RF circuitry coupled to one or more antennas to reduce power consumption without significantly reducing performance.

Abstract: The present disclosure selects third party content based on feedback. A selector identifies several content items including first and second content items (or more) responsive to a request. A machine learning engine determines a first feature of the first content item, a second feature of the second content item, and a third feature of the web page or a device associated with the request. The machine learning engine determines, responsive to the first feature and the third feature, a first score for the first content item based on a machine learning model generated using historical signals received from devices via a metadata channel formed from an electronic feedback interface. The machine learning engine determines a second score for the second content item responsive to the second feature and the third feature. A bidding module determines a price for the first content item based on the first and second scores.
