Abstract:
Examples described herein relate to apparatuses and methods for a wireless communication device having a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) enabling a first subscription and a second SIM enabling a second subscription to manage communications over the first subscription and the second subscription including determining a change in device mode associated with the first subscription and updating the change in device mode by sending a device capability information message to the first network associated with the first subscription in response to determining the change in device mode without performing a de-attach procedure with the first network.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, and systems of various embodiments are disclosed for managing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). In various embodiments, the UAV may charge an onboard battery while docked at a docking terminal of a charging station. The UAV may receive a message from the charging station with an instruction to undock from the docking terminal. The UAV may undock from the docking terminal before charging of the onboard battery is complete in response to receiving the message from the charging station with the instruction to undock.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, and systems of various embodiments are disclosed for managing a vehicle charging station having a docking terminal. In various embodiments, a priority of a first autonomous vehicle and a second autonomous vehicle may be determined for using the docking terminal when a docking request is received from the second autonomous vehicle while the first autonomous vehicle occupies the docking terminal. In some embodiments, the priorities of the first and second autonomous vehicles may be based on an available power level of each of the first and second autonomous vehicles. The first autonomous vehicle may be instructed to undock from the docking terminal in response to determining that the second autonomous vehicle has a higher priority.

Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed that may selectively determine network connection information in a wearable wireless device. A wearable wireless device may communicate with a first wireless device associated with a wireless network, estimate a separation distance to the first wireless device, and compare a first network identifier of the wearable wireless device with a second network identifier of the first wireless device. The wearable wireless device may then selectively receive, from the first wireless device, network connection information for the wireless network based, at least in part, on the comparison and the separation distance.
Abstract:
Various examples include methods for assisting Global Positioning System (GPS) applications using a Long Term Evolution (LTE) subscription on a wireless communication device. Various example methods may include determining whether positioning information can be obtained from a first network associated with the LTE subscription, obtaining the positioning information from the first network through the LTE subscription in response to determining that the positioning information can be obtained from the first network, translating the positioning information into a format recognizable to a GPS application executing on the wireless communication device, and providing the positioning information to the GPS application.
Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to dynamic cell reselection to improve device-to-device (D2D) communications where two or more D2D peers are camped onto different cells and one or more D2D peers are located in an overlap region between the cells. For example, in various embodiments, the D2D peers may exchange one or more communication parameters over the (inter-cell) D2D connection and detect that the D2D peers are camped on different base stations (i.e., attached to different cells) based on the exchanged communication parameters. The D2D peer(s) located in the cell overlap region may then obtain measurements on the neighbor cell and a forced cell reselection may be triggered at the appropriate D2D peer(s) located in the cell overlap region such that the D2D peers are camped on the same base station, thereby converting the inter-cell D2D connection into an intra-cell D2D connection that can be more easily maintained.
Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to synchronizing application account data using out-of-band device-to-device (D2D) communication between peer wireless devices. More particularly, a first device may generate a local unique expression that includes a name, one or more user credentials, and a last update time associated with an application registered for a D2D-based application synchronization service. In response to detecting one or more external unique expressions from one or more peer devices in proximity that match the name and the user credentials associated with the registered application, the first device may then identify, among the one or more peer devices, an update device associated with an external unique expression having a last update time more recent than the last update time associated with the local unique expression and request an update to synchronize the application account data associated with the registered application from the update device over an out-of-band D2D connection.
Abstract:
A method for performing parallel network acquisition attempts on a mobile communication device includes: retrieving mobile communication device information from a look-up table (LUT); identifying, based on the retrieved information, components of the mobile communication device that support one or more radio access technologies (RATs); allocating the components to at least some of the one or more supported RATs; and performing parallel network acquisition attempts for the at least some of the one or more supported RATs using the allocated components.
Abstract:
Minimizing conflicts between different radio access technologies (RATs) is disclosed herein which include monitoring, by a user equipment (UE), a first use of a UE Radio Frequency (RF) resource by a first Radio Access Technology (RAT). The UE monitors a second use of the UE resource by a second RAT. The UE is served by a current serving cell in the second RAT. The UE may also determine a percentage of conflict between a first use of a UE resource by a first RAT and the second use of the UE resource by the second RAT over a predefined period of time, and initiating, by the UE, a cell reselection attempt to one or more neighboring cells of a plurality of neighboring cells serving the second RAT based on the determined percentage of conflict exceeding a predetermined threshold.
