In some aspects, a server device may obtain information relating to a location of a device that is to be delivered to a physical location associated with a recipient. The server device may transmit, based at least in part on the information indicating that the location of the device is at the physical location of the recipient, a first communication prompting the recipient to indicate whether the recipient is in possession of the device. The server device may receive a second communication indicating whether the recipient is in possession of the device. The server device may transmit a signal to cause a change of an activation state of one or more operations of the device based at least in part on whether the second communication indicates that the recipient is in possession of the device. Numerous other aspects are described.

Remote activation or deactivation of a device for theft deterrence

Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for to managing use of a satellite positions system (SPS) receiver in conjunction with one or more radio access technology (RAT) transmitters. In certain embodiments, a controller can be used to prioritize reception by the SPS receiver over transmission by the one or more RAT transmitters.

Coexistence management of GNSS and wireless operations

An example method includes receiving, by a sink device and from a source device, identity information corresponding to a subscriber information module (SIM) of the source device via a connection between the sink device and the source device; registering, at the sink device, a remote SIM with the identity information corresponding to the SIM of the source device; and communicating, by an application of the sink device and using the remote SIM, with an external device via a cellular radio transceiver of the source device.

Remote subscriber identity module

Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose methods for determining power level of one or more transmitters based on a power level of a primary transmitter when the transmitters are located in close proximity of each other. The power levels may be determined such that a combined power of all the transmitters is compliant with regulatory radio frequency (RF) safety requirements. For certain aspects, power level of the lower priority transmitters may be determined utilizing one or more look-up tables. For another aspect, power level of the lower priority transmitters may be calculated using an algorithm based on the power level of the priority transmitter. In aspects, the power level of lower priority transmitters and the time duration for which the transmitters are active may be selected dynamically so that the time averaged power of the transmitters for a defined period of time falls below the RF exposure limit.

Apparatus and method for adjustment of transmitter power in a system

Managing of secondary carriers for a multicarrier user equipment (UE) is described in which the UE initiates or provides input for activation and deactivation of selected secondary cells in a carrier aggregation depending on allocation or provisioning of UE radio frequency resources.

UE-initiated dynamic activation and de-activation of secondary carriers

Embodiments include methods implemented by a processor of a mobile communication device for managing tune-aways by a radio frequency resource supporting a first subscription to support a second subscription. The processor may determine a data loss ratio of the data of a media file that is lost in transmission to the mobile communication device. The processor may compare the data loss ratio of the data to a first data loss ratio threshold and a second data loss ratio threshold, and the processor may block a tune-away event of the radio frequency resource from the first subscription to the second subscription in response to determining that the data loss ratio of the data is greater than the first data loss ratio threshold and less than the second data loss ratio threshold.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to performing a tune-away from a first radio access technology (RAT) to a second RAT. These techniques include, for example, a method in which one or more radio resources of a user equipment are tuned away from the first RAT (e.g., LTE technology) to the second RAT (e.g., legacy 2G/3G technology and/or Wi-Fi or Bluetooth technology). Based on detecting a need to tune away one or more radio resources, the UE may then determine a tune-away metric for each serving cell based on one or more performance impact factors associated with the serving cell being tuned away. The UE may select one or more of the cells to be tuned away based on the determined tune-away metrics. The UE may then tune one or more radio resources corresponding to the selected at least one cell away from the first RAT to the second RAT.

Carrier prioritization for tune-away

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for wireless communication, and more particularly, to methods and apparatus that utilize one or more user equipment (UE) panic states under connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) mode in long term evolution (LTE).

User equipment panic state(s) under connected mode discontinuous reception state in long term evolution

Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and to mechanisms designed to help improve dynamic sharing of one or more receive chains among different radio access technologies (RATs). For example, the mechanisms may be used with LTE and other RATs where Carrier Aggregation is used for simultaneous voice and LTE (SV-LTE) applications.

Mechanism to improve dynamic sharing of receive chain(s) among radio access technologies

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and devices are described for transmitting a measurement report during wireless communications. When, for example, a low-power period (e.g., CDRX OFF period) is scheduled to begin during a time defined by a measurement event timer (TTT timer), a UE may modify the low-power period. The low-power period may be modified based, at least in part on determining the low-power period of the UE will begin during a time defined by a measurement event timer, a duration of the measurement event timer, and a duration of the low-power period. Modifying the low-power period may include delaying the start of the low-power state until after transmission of the MR associated with the measurement event timer or skipping the low-power period altogether. The UE may transmit the MR based, at least in part, on the modification.

Priority management of a measurement event timer and low-power period

Methods, systems, and devices are described for managing power of a user equipment (UE). A UE modem may determine the state of charge of the battery to determine that the battery is in one of two or more charge state levels, and may invoke one or more modem power saving modes based on the charge state level. Power saving modes may include, for example, reducing a number of available receive chains in a UE, initiating a time delay between one or more frequency scan requests performed by the UE, reducing a rate of neighbor search requests performed by the UE, providing a buffer status report (BSR) parameter that indicates a reduced amount of buffer data relative to an actual amount of buffer data for the UE, and/or adjusting a maximum transmit power level for an uplink channel.

Aspects of the disclosure provide for an access terminal configured to enable communication with two or more wireless communications networks simultaneously. According to some aspects of the disclosure, an access terminal (e.g., dual-SIM access terminal) can be active simultaneously on both networks with reduced interference between transmission and reception. A number of different techniques for mitigating desense on a victim's Rx are illustrated in this disclosure with a GSM aggressor and an EV-DO victim as non-limiting examples. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for managing mobility in a multi-radio device are provided. One example method generally includes detecting that a first channel is not usable for communicating via a first radio access technology (RAT); receiving a message to redirect from a second channel to the first channel; determining the first channel is in a set of one or more blocked channels not usable for the first RAT; and in response to the determination, taking one or more actions. Another example method generally includes detecting that a first channel is not usable for communicating via a first RAT and providing an indication to a network that a user equipment (UE) no longer supports the first channel.
