    Abstract: The embodiments set forth a technique for enabling a group of computing devices to delegate tasks in a manner that promotes energy savings. According to one embodiment, each computing device is configured to identify situations where the computing device has an energy advantage (e.g., when plugged-in) and should serve as a proxy computing device to other computing devices. Each computing device is also configured to identify situations where the computing device has an energy disadvantage (e.g., a low battery) and should seek out another computing device to act as a proxy computing device. In this manner, computing devices can delegate tasks between one another to reduce or eliminate the processing redundancies that otherwise occur when the computing devices work in isolation to maintain network connectivity and carry out tasks on their own.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique for enabling mobile computing devices to share observation information using low-energy communication protocols. This observation information can include network connectivity information and GPS location information that is either known to or being sought out by a mobile computing device. When observation information (if any) maintained by a mobile computing device does not satisfy a threshold level of confidence, the mobile computing device can query neighboring mobile computing devices for corresponding observation information that satisfies the threshold level of confidence. Conversely, the mobile computing device can be configured to advertise observation information to the neighboring mobile computing devices when the observation information satisfies the threshold level of confidence. In this manner, the mobile computing devices can collaboratively share information in an attempt to reduce the significant workload that is otherwise required when working in isolation to establish network connectivity and determine GPS location information.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for user equipment (UE) devices to more efficiently scan frequency bands for potential base stations may include a UE configured maintain a first list of cells for which a cellular scan has been successful and a second list of cells for which a cellular scan has not been successful. The UE may be configured perform a first cellular while camped on a first cell at an expiration of a scan timer and, if the cellular scan is not successful, the increment a first failure count variable associated with the first cell and add the first cell to the second list if the first cell is not present on the first or second list. Additionally, if the first cellular scan is successful, the UE may be configured to add the first cell to the first list if the first cell is not present on the first list.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for user equipment (UE) devices to more efficiently scan frequency bands for potential base stations may include a UE configured to store information regarding results of prior cellular scan operations for a cell and to perform a new cellular scan operation while camped in the first cell. The new cellular scan operation may be partially based on the stored information. The prior cellular scan operations may have been performed to identify frequencies of available cellular base stations. The UE may update the information regarding results of prior cellular scan operations with information regarding success or failure of the new cellular scan operation. The UE may maintain lists of cells for which a cellular scan has been successful or unsuccessful and adjust the new cellular scan operation based at least partially on contents of at least one of these lists.
