Abstract:
Various features related to selectively forwarding alerts/notifications for communications received at a first device to a paired device based on a user's privacy settings, are described. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus maybe a first device, e.g., a UE, including at least one processor. In some configurations, the at least one processor is configured to receive a communication, and determine whether the communication is from a contact associated with a restricted group. The at least one processor maybe further configured to perform, based on the determining, one of: blocking an alert corresponding to the communication from being forwarded to a second device, or forwarding the alert corresponding to the communication to the second device. The second device maybe one of a wearable device, a car infotainment unit, a home entertainment unit, or a business conferencing unit, paired with the first device.
Abstract:
Various features related to reducing power consumption by devices during discovery periods D2D communication system, are described. In an aspect, a transmission pattern learning based intelligent monitoring approach is used. In certain configurations, an apparatus, e.g., a UE, may be configured to monitor, during a first set of discovery periods, transmissions of a plurality of different PACs associated with different applications, and identify PACs of interest from the plurality of different PACs. In some configurations, the apparatus maybe further configured to identify, based on the monitoring, transmission patterns of the PACs of interest, and monitor, during a second set of discovery periods, transmissions corresponding to the PACs of interest based on the identified transmission patterns. In some configurations, the PACs of interest monitored during the second set of discovery periods may be a subset of the plurality of different PACs monitored during the first set of discovery periods.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for priority based stand-alone and carrier aggregated frequency band usage. An example method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes: maintaining a high-priority list (HPL) and a low-priority list (LPL) of frequency bands and combinations of frequency bands that are supported by the UE, wherein the HPL and the LPL are based on one or more hardware (HW) components of the UE; and taking one or more actions based on one or more measured parameters of the frequency bands or the combinations of frequency bands and at least one of the HPL and the LPL.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for biometric identification are provided. The apparatus may be a user device. The apparatus may detect biometric information for a predetermined period of time. The predetermined period of time may be set by a hysteresis timer. The apparatus may compare the detected biometric information with stored biometric information associated with a stored user profile of a plurality of user profiles. The apparatus may then determine whether to display the stored user profile based on the comparison after the predetermined period of time has elapsed.
