This disclosure relates to methods and devices for mitigating overheating in a user equipment device (UE). The UE is configured to communicate over each of LTE and 5G NR and may be configured to communicate through 5G NR over each of a Sub-6 GHz and a millimeter Wave (mmW) frequency band. The UE is configured to establish an ENDC connection with an enB and one or more gNBs. The UE implements intelligent transmission modification and cell measurement adjustments to mitigate overheating and reduce battery drain.

Smart mechanism to manage thermal impact in 5G NR

Embodiments described herein relate to managing access to 5G cellular baseband resources for 5G-capable wireless devices. A wireless device can monitor application workloads by analyzing communication network performance requirements for a given application in-use or launching for future use along with system-level indications of overall device usage, battery level, and mobility status to determine whether access to 5G cellular baseband resources is recommended for an application. A 5G cellular baseband resource recommendation is provided for an application indicating a level of bandwidth in current use or expected for future use as well as a confidence metric in the bandwidth level indication. The 5G cellular baseband resource recommendation is used with additional device criteria to determine whether access to one or more 5G radio frequency bands is allowed.

The UE is configured to communicate over each of LTE and 5G NR and may be configured to communicate through 5G NR over each of a Sub-6GHz and a millimeter Wave (mmW) frequency band.

The UE implements intelligent transmission modification and cell measurement adjustments to mitigate overheating and reduce battery drain.

Apparatus and methods for estimating data traffic characteristics for applications to condition data communication channels that support data packet transfer for the applications in wireless communication devices are disclosed. Data connections to support different applications and/or daemon software processes can be established and subsequently adjusted based on data traffic characteristics for data that the different applications/daemons generate and/or consume. Traffic flows for the applications/daemons are classified into traffic classes based on likely data traffic patterns. When data sources are added or deleted, changes to a traffic class state can be determined, and wireless circuitry adjusted based at least in part on the traffic class state and a traffic class policy. Adjusting parameters that affect the periodicity and/or length of active time periods and sleep periods in accordance with estimated data traffic patterns for applications/daemons that use the data connections can reduce power consumption by the wireless circuitry.
