Abstract: Methods and apparatus for distinguishing between an antenna of a user equipment (UE) being blocked by a cover (e.g., a protective rubber or plastic case) or by human tissue (e.g., a finger or palm). The transmission power of uplink (UL) signals may be adjusted accordingly, with relatively higher transmission power for open space or a cover and relatively lower transmission power for human tissue. One example method for wireless communications by a UE generally includes transmitting a first signal from the UE, receiving a plurality of signals at the UE based on the transmitted first signal, determining values for at least two different types of parameters based on the received plurality of signals, determining an environmental scenario for the UE based on the values for the at least two different types of parameters, and transmitting a second signal using a transmission power based on the determined environmental scenario.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may communicate using different radio access technologies on adjacent frequency bands. The UE may determine that the UE is not receiving wireless signals for a second radio access technology that utilizes a second frequency band adjacent to a first frequency band for a first radio access technology. The UE may place a transmitter of the UE in a filter bypass mode in which a transmit signal bypasses a transmit filter for the first radio access technology in response to determining that the wireless signals for the second radio access technology are not received. The UE may scan, using a receiver for the second radio access technology, while in the filter bypass mode, the second frequency band for a signal for the second radio access technology between scheduled transmissions for the first radio access technology.

Abstract: The present application relates to acquiring sensor data at a user equipment (UE). The described aspects include receiving a first input representing a request to activate one or more sensors. The described aspects further include activating, by a controller at the UE, the one or more sensors in response to receiving the first input. Further, the described aspects include receiving the sensor data from each of the one or more sensors in response to activating the one or more sensors. The described aspects include determining whether a sensor adjustment condition has been satisfied. Additionally, the described aspects include adjusting an acquisition characteristic of the one or more sensors based on determining that the sensor adjustment condition has been satisfied.

Abstract: In certain aspects, a method for temperature monitoring comprises receiving temperature readings from a plurality of temperature sensors on a chip, and determining an average or a sum of the temperature readings from the temperature sensors. The sum may be a weighted sum of the temperature readings. The method also comprises computing a temperature at a location on the chip based on the average or sum of the temperature readings. The location may be located at approximately a centroid of the locations of the temperature sensors, an estimated hotspot location on the chip, or another location on the chip.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to radio frequency (RF) front-end circuitry. For example, certain aspects provide an apparatus having a first converter circuit configured to upconvert a first baseband (BB) signal to a first RF signal based on a mode of operation, and a second converter circuit configured to upconvert a second BB signal to a second RF signal based on the mode of operation. The apparatus also includes a first RF weight adjustment circuit configured to selectively apply an amplitude weight or a phase weight to at least one of the first RF signal or the second RF signal based on the mode of operation, and a controller configured to control a power state of the second converter circuit in dependence on the mode of operation.
