A wireless communication device is disclosed that includes a non-transitory memory, a processor, and a local agent. The local agent transmits context information to an AI engine and receives and stores sign language data sets selected based on the context information from the AI engine in the non-transitory memory. The local agent receives content in need of language assistance. In response to a determination to process the content locally, the local agent converts the content into first sign language gestures based on the data sets. In response to a determination to process the content remotely, the local agent sends at least some of the content to the AI engine, receives keys from the AI engine, and determines second sign language gestures based on the keys and the data sets. The local agent sends the first or second sign language gestures to a display of the wireless communication device for presentation.

Systems and methods are provided for dynamic power allocation of a first maximum uplink power and a second maximum uplink power, wherein the first maximum uplink power is used by a first transmitter to communicate with a first access point and the second maximum uplink power is used by a second transmitter to communicate with a second access point (dual connectivity). Network parameters are determined based on characteristics and/or qualities of the downlink and/or uplink signals of a wireless communication session. In response to the determined network parameters, the WCD may increase a first maximum uplink power and decrease a second maximum uplink power in order to establish or maintain dual connectivity without exceeding the device's maximum total uplink power.

Dual connectivity (DC) power control

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described herein which utilizes and controls an electromagnetic energy beam steering apparatus. The electromagnetic energy beam steering apparatus uses directional properties of a Luneburg lens to receive RF energy from one or more points of the Luneburg lens and re-transmits the RF energy from a different point of the Luneburg lens to focus the RF energy in a desired direction. The electromagnetic energy beam steering apparatus may take a form of a passive repeater, an active repeater, or a multipath active repeater.

Systems, methods, and devices are described for dynamic modifications of quality of service (QoS) rules in a communication network. Modification of the QoS rules can initiated by user equipment connected to an access point or an application server associated with an user equipment executed application. The modification can alter the communication priority of data communicated to, or communicated from, the user equipment. Additionally, or alternatively, the modification can alter the minimum data throughput for data communicated to, or communicated from, the user equipment.

Exemplary methods and systems may generally be implemented to allow a macro-network base station without access to a GPS reference signal to provide some or all of the functionality for which existing macro-network base stations typically rely on GPS. In a first aspect, an exemplary macro-network base station may determine its location using a location-determination technique that is based upon the angles of arrival of FM radio signals from nearby FM stations. In a second aspect, an exemplary macro-network base station may stabilize its local oscillator by phase-locking its local oscillator to an FM radio signal, and periodically adjusting its local oscillator to account for phase drift of the FM radio signal. And in a third aspect, an exemplary macro-network base station may synchronize its frame-start timing with a nearby base station using a frame-start timing signal that the base station has synchronized to frame transmissions from the nearby base station during a setup routine.

A system and method of a hybrid scheme of DL link adaptation in a network having mobile stations (MSs) in communication with a base station (BS). The system may include a mode decision module associated with the base station. The mode decision module may include one or more processors configured to select a first mode configuration for use during transmission of a first communication from the base station. The BS may receive first feedback information associated with the first communication, where the first feedback information includes a first mode recommendation and first channel information. Based on the first feedback information, the BS may generate a BS-derived mode configuration based on the first channel information and compare the first mode recommendation and the BS-derived mode configuration. Based on the comparison, the BS may determine a second mode configuration to use to configure a second communication.
