    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques that may be utilized to transmit radio frequency (RF) signals to an electronic device. A distance that a first electronic device of a plurality of electronic devices is located from a second electronic device of the plurality of electronic devices may be determined. Additionally, that the distance exceeds a first threshold distance may be determined. Whether the first electronic device is communicatively coupled to a cellular network, whether the distance exceeds a second threshold distance that is greater than the first threshold distance, or both are also determined. The RF signals radio frequency (RF) signals to be transmitted to the first electronic device by a satellite based on the first electronic device not being communicatively coupled to the cellular network, the distance exceeding the second threshold, or both.

    Abstract: Smart vehicle-to-everything (V2X) preemptive connections for emergency and/or potential accident scenarios. A V2X-enabled vehicle may determine a current route of the vehicle and high-risk areas through which the vehicle may travel (e.g., a hospital zone, high pedestrian traffic area, etc.). The vehicle may determine a distance (d) from a beginning of the high-risk area and begin establishing a V2X connection upon reaching the determined distance. The V2X-enabled vehicle may also, or alternatively, pre-emptively establish a V2X connection upon detecting an event initiative of an emergency, a hazardous situation, or a potential emergency. Examples of such events may include a sharp turn, a vehicle speed exceeding a speed threshold, a sudden acceleration or declaration, etc. A preemptive V2X connection may, for example, enable vehicles to begin communicating with one another faster in case of a threat, emergency, or unsafe conditions for vehicles in the area.
