Abstract: A wireless device can perform non-line-of-sight detection. The wireless device may establish a wireless link with another wireless device using a wireless channel. The wireless device may perform one or more channel measurements for the wireless channel. The wireless device may determine whether a line-of-sight path is available for the wireless channel based at least in part on the one or more channel measurements. The wireless device may determine whether to trigger beamforming selection, antenna selection, and/or any other link maintenance operations based at least in part on the determined line-of-sight availability.

Abstract: In an example method, a first device determines first network resources that have been activated for exchanging data with one or more second devices via a wireless network, and determines, for each of the first network resources, a time duration of a respective burst transmission performed using that first network resource. The first device determines whether to (i) activate second network resources for exchanging data with the second devices and/or (ii) deactivate one or more of the first network resources for exchanging data with the second devices. In response, the first device activates the second network resources and/or deactivates the one or more of the first network resources.

Abstract: A system and method for operation of a user equipment (UE) to determine a cellular network bottleneck in a downlink channel, and an apparatus for use in a UE for determining the same. A UE may determine a burst of network traffic from network traffic received from the cellular network during a series of transmission time intervals. The UE may analyze resource allocations to the UE during the burst to determine an extent to which the cellular network is busy. The UE may determine that the cellular network is experiencing a bottleneck based at least in part on the analysis of the resource allocations to the UE in the burst.

Abstract: This application describes systems and processes for beam selection performance refinement in static conditions of wireless devices (e.g., user equipment UE). A data processing system of the UE is configured to perform a beam scan for testing multiple high gain candidate beams on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and link adaptation (LA) channel state information reference signal (LA-CSI-RS) while the UE is not moving and the data processing system of the UE determines that the channel is stable. The data processing system is configured to refine a given beam choice based on a determined capacity of the beams (e.g., from PDSCH signaling and/or LA-CSI-RS signals) to optimize data throughput.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with first and second sidewalls, a rear wall, and a display. Multiple antenna panels may be used to convey radio-frequency signals at frequencies greater than 10 GHz. A first antenna panel may radiate through the display while second and third panels radiate through the first and second sidewalls. The second and third panels may be tilted at non-zero angles with respect to the sidewalls. The non-zero angles may be of opposite sign. The non-zero angles may have the same magnitude. The magnitude may be equal to 15 degrees, as one example. Tilting the panels in this way may allow the panels to collectively cover as much of a sphere around the device as possible, including out of coverage areas behind the rear wall caused by conductive material in the rear wall, without requiring additional panels to be disposed within the device.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods and devices for mitigating overheating in a user equipment device (UE). The UE is configured to communicate over each of LTE and 5G NR and may be configured to communicate through 5G NR over each of a Sub-6 GHz and a millimeter Wave (mmW) frequency band. The UE is configured to establish an ENDC connection with an enB and one or more gNBs. The UE implements intelligent transmission modification and cell measurement adjustments to mitigate overheating and reduce battery drain.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) determines a transmission power for data transmission to a network. The UE determines a specific absorption rate (SAR) limit associated with the UE and determines a transmission power to be allocated to data transmissions based on one or more applications running on the UE and the SAR limit.

Abstract: This application describes systems and processes for sensor-assisted antenna and beam selection for wireless networks. The systems and processes are configured to detect out of coverage (OoC) scenarios and perform beam management in response to detecting the OoC scenario. The systems and methods are configured to perform beam management during baseband interruption scenarios. In each scenario, the device (e.g., user equipment UE) is configured to determine whether the UE is static or mobile.
