In various aspects, power saving host-modem interactions are described herein. For instance, a host of a communication device includes a host processor that receives, via an interface, information about the reduced activity state of a modem of the communication device including an indication of the RRC state of the modem. It also receives, via the interface, information about a projected expiration of a reduced activity period of the modem including an indication of a time remaining until a next event of the modem. The host processor controls a reduction of an operation of a component of the communication device during the reduced activity period of the modem, based on the indication of the RRC state of the modem and the indication of the time remaining until the next event of the modem. The reduced activity state of the modem corresponding to the reduced activity period of the modem.

Power saving host-modem interaction in a communication device

A hearing device, in particular hearing aid, contains a transmitter circuit for wireless signal transmission. The transmitter circuit contains an electrical resonant circuit having at least one controllable semiconductor switch, at least one capacitor and a transmitter coil. The at least one semiconductor switch is driven by a pulse phase modulator.

Hearing device and method of operating the hearing device

A terminal device includes a controller configured to identify a data hopping sequence for a first superframe including a plurality of frames, and a transceiver configured to switch hopping frequencies over the plurality of frames according to a data hopping sequence that excludes one or more hopping frequencies scheduled for use by a synchronization hopping sequence in one or more superframes immediately succeeding the first superframe.

Methods and devices for device-to-device communications

Methods, systems, and circuitries are provided to generate clock signals of different qualities in a device. A method includes determining whether the device is operating in a mid power mode or a high power mode. In response to determining that the device is operating in the mid power mode, oscillator circuitry is controlled to cause the oscillator circuitry to consume a lower amount of power, such that the oscillator circuitry generates a lower quality clock signal. In response to determining that the device is operating in the high power mode, the oscillator circuitry is controlled to cause the oscillator circuitry to consume a higher amount of power, such that the oscillator circuitry generates a higher quality clock signal. The lower amount of power and the higher amount of power are different from one another.

Mid power mode for an oscillator

Communication devices and methods of data communication are herein disclosed. In some aspects, a communication device may include a host and a modem interconnected by an interface. The host includes a host processor configured to control components of the communication device and to communicate with the modem via the interface. The modem includes a modem processor configured to control components of the modem and to communicate with the host via the interface. The modem processor is further configured to communicate information on a reduced activity state and a time remaining until a next event of the modem to the host processor. The host processor is further configured to reduce an operation of at least one component of the communication device based on receipt of the information on the reduced activity state of the modem and the time remaining until the next event of the modem.

Methods and devices for allocating power among a plurality of circuits in a communication device, including determining a power budget for allocating to the plurality of circuits from a power supply information; receiving an activity status from a first circuit of the plurality of circuits; determining a first power value based on the activity status; deriving a second power value based on the first power value and the power budget; and allocating power to one or more remaining circuits of the plurality of circuits based on the second power value.

Devices and methods for power allocation

A mobile radio communication device may operate in a wireless communication network including at least one base station configured to transmit control information and content to the mobile radio communication device. The mobile radio communication device may receive a number of communications transmitted by a base station in a number of time frames. The communication device may analyze whether the communications from the base station include control information addressed to the communication device. Based on the analysis, the mobile radio communication device may automatically predict whether an communication transmitted by the base station in an time frame will include control information addressed to the communication device. Based on the prediction, the mobile radio communication device may manage the power consumption of at least one of its components during the time frame.

Mobile device management based on predicted base station behavior

Described herein are technologies related to an implementation of a thermal management scheme in a device. Particularly, a look up table or LUT is configured to include a data set of information (e.g., user-profile data, network-profile data) and a corresponding recommended thermal throttling mode. During regular device operation, conditions internal/external to the device is detected and the corresponding thermal throttling mode (from the LUT) is applied. In certain implementations, optimization algorithms are used in place of the LUT.

Context-assisted thermal management scheme in a portable device

There is provided a method of determining a transmission quality when receiving audio signals which are transmitted over a frequency-modulated path in analog form. For that purpose a frequency-modulated audio signal is received and IQ demodulation of the input signal is implemented. The I- and the Q-path of the demodulated baseband signal are subjected to analog/digital conversion. Alternatively the input signal can first be digitized and then subjected to IQ demodulation. A multiplicity of N samples is detected. The amount of the N samples is formed. A reference value is determined from the amount of the N samples. Each of the N samples is standardized to the reference value. A measurement in respect of the fluctuations in the standardized amounts is determined. The measurement in respect of the fluctuations indicates the quality of the transmission path.
