  • Patent number: 12192744
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques that may help mitigate service loss for a UE (e.g., in DSDA mode) due to temperature rise. According to certain aspects, a UE detects, while operating in a multi subscriber identity module (SIM) mode with at least a first subscriber (SUB) and a second subscriber (SUB) active on a first radio access technology (RAT), that the UE has reached a first temperature threshold less than a second temperature threshold at which the UE limits service in the first RAT and greater than a third temperature threshold associated with a temperature mitigation level. The UE then takes action to move the first SUB to a second RAT in response to the detecting.

  • Patent number: 11303485
    Abstract: A signal acquisition method and device. Positioning signals as received are divided into at least two groups and frequency compensation is performed on each group of positioning signals. Each frequency compensated group of positioning signals is divided into at least two signal blocks, and an averaging operation is performed on the signal blocks in each group of signals, so as to obtain block-averaged groups of positioning signals. An acquisition result is determined based on the block-averaged groups of positioning signals. Noise power of each block-averaged group of signals is reduced. Therefore, noise power of received positioning signals can be reduced. This may improve signal-to-noise ratio of received signals and acquisition sensitivity of a receiver. Therefore, acquisition success rate of weak signals is increased.

  • Patent number: 11252466
    Abstract: Techniques for handing off media content between proximate display devices are provided. Based on a first media player device currently playing media content from a remote media server receiving a request to hand off the media content to a proximate second media player device, the first media player device may send a handoff token to a second media player device to enable the second media player device to play the media content from the remote media server. The handoff token may include an indication of the media content, an indication of a point within a stream of the media content, and/or credentials associated with the user of the first media player device. The second media player device may send the handoff token to the remote media server, which may send the media content to the second media player device based on verifying the information provided in the handoff token.
