System and techniques are described herein for providing variable rate touch sampling for touch sensors. In one illustrative example, a method of monitoring activity of a person includes obtaining one or more images of a user performing a first movement during a usage instance of an extended reality (XR) device; obtaining first biometric information of the user from at least one first biometric sensor of the XR device while the user performs the first movement; determining fatigue information of the user at least in part based on the one or more images and the first biometric information of the user; and determining an action based on the fatigue information.

Fatigue detection in extended reality applications

Disclosed are techniques for wireless sensing. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) detects an object and a direction to the object in an environment of the UE, determines whether the object is a human, identifies, based on the object being the human, a sensitive body part of the human, and performs, based on identification of the sensitive body part, a maximum power exposure (MPE) mitigation operation.

Multi-sensor assisted maximum power exposure (MPE) operations for millimeter wave (MMW) communications

Embodiments described herein address these and other issues by providing radio frequency (RF) sensing to determine the status of a driver or other occupant of the vehicle. RF sensing may be provided by existing radios of a vehicle, such a Wi-Fi transceiver, and may therefore provide RF sensing functionality to a vehicle with little added cost. RF sensing can be leveraged to implement safety features such as detecting an unattended child or pet in a vehicle, detecting driver alertness, and the like.

Radio frequency sensing in a vehicular environment

Techniques are provided for reducing signaling latency in multi-link devices (MLDs). An example method of providing latency sensitive information with a MLD includes receiving downlink data packets from a station via a first radio link, performing radio frequency sensing with a second radio link, detecting a latency sensitive event, and transmitting an indication of the latency sensitive event.

Latency enhancements with multi-link operations

Disclosed are systems and techniques for detecting user presence, user motion, and for performing facial authentication. For instance, a wireless device can receive a waveform that is a reflection of a transmitted radio frequency (RF) waveform. Based on RF sensing data associated with the received waveform, the wireless device can determine a presence of a user. In response to determining the presence of the user, the wireless device can initiate facial authentication of the user.

Facial recognition using radio frequency sensing

Disclosed are systems and techniques for performing mapping using radio frequency (RF) sensing. For instance, a server can obtain a first set of RF sensing data and orientation data corresponding to a first wireless device from a plurality of wireless devices. The first set of RF sensing data can be associated with at least one received waveform that is a reflection of a transmitted waveform from a first reflector. Based on the first set of RF sensing data, orientation data, and location data corresponding to the first wireless device, an indoor map can be generated that includes a reference to the reflector.

Indoor map generation using radio frequency sensing

Embodiments include methods for managing component temperatures in wearable devices by a remote computing device, such as an edge server, instructing changes in wearable device component processing loads, operations or operating modes. Methods performed in a wearable device receiving data from an edge server may include obtaining a plurality of temperature measurements from a plurality of hardware components, transmitting the temperature measurements to the edge server, receiving an instruction related to operations of an application executing on the processor of the wearable device, and adjusting an operating parameter based on the received instruction. Methods performed in the edge server include receiving the temperature measurements from the wearable device, identify one or more adjustments to operations of the plurality of hardware components based on the plurality of temperature measurements, and sending the wearable device an instruction to adjust operations of at least one of the plurality of hardware components.

Predicting thermal states in connected devices to provide edge processing

Techniques are provided for performing radio frequency (RF) sensing to determine the viewing status of a television user. This can be used to determine user behavior during the playback of content (e.g., whether a user is watching the content), which can be used as a data point for determining the user's level of interest in the content. Using the status of the television user, embodiments can provide additional or alternative functionality, such as powering down and/or powering up the television. Furthermore, RF sensing may be performed by existing television hardware, such a Wi-Fi transceiver, and may therefore provide RF sensing functionality to a television with little or no added cost.

Radio frequency sensing in a television environment

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a wireless station (STA), which may be an example of a virtual reality (VR) device, may receive downlink data or video frames from an access point (AP) for a display at the wireless STA. In some aspects, the wireless STA may detect a motion change of the wireless STA based on employing a motion change detection mechanism and, if the wireless STA detects a motion change, may transmit an indication of the motion change detection to the AP via a feedback message, such as a block acknowledgement (BA) feedback message. The wireless STA, based on detecting the motion change, may additionally transmit a set of inertial measurements of the wireless STA to the AP. The wireless STA may transmit the inertial measurements to the AP via the feedback message or a separate uplink message.
