A wireless communication device includes at least one wireless communication transceiver, and a processor coupled to the transceiver. The processor executes program code that enables the device to: determine whether the wireless communication device is camped within a coverage area of an accessible wireless connection point while the wireless communication device is in motion. The program code further enables the wireless communication device to: in response to determining the wireless communication device is camped within the coverage area of an accessible wireless connection point, selectively connect the transceiver to the accessible wireless connection point. The program code further enables the wireless communication device to: in response to determining the wireless communication device is not camped within the coverage area of an accessible wireless connection point, defer connecting the transceiver to the accessible wireless connection point.

Method to enhance WLAN connection based on activity recognition

A method, a mobile device, and a computer program product for detecting if a mobile device is in an airplane environment. The method includes receiving motion sensor data from a motion sensor and calculating a velocity value based on the motion sensor data. The method further includes determining if the velocity value is greater than a velocity value threshold and in response to determining that the velocity value is greater than the velocity value threshold, a barometric pressure sensor measures barometric pressure data associated with a current environment of the mobile device. The method further includes receiving the barometric pressure data from the barometric pressure sensor and determining if the barometric pressure data matches reference barometric pressure data. In response to determining that the barometric pressure data matches the reference barometric pressure data, an airplane mode of the mobile device is enabled.

Modifying wireless communication settings of a wireless communication device when the device is in an aircraft environment

A method for controlling multiple-input and multiple-output operation in a communication device includes communicating data using multiple-input and multiple-output operation, determining a set of parameters that indicate quality of service associated with communicating the data to another device, and comparing the set of parameters to a set of thresholds. When one or more parameters in the set of parameters exceed one or more thresholds in the set of thresholds, the multiple-input and multiple-output operation is disabled.

Methods and apparatus for controlling multiple-input and multiple-output operation in a communication device based on quality of service

A method for controlling multiple-input and multiple-output operation in a communication device when the communication device is attached to a battery charger includes determining that a battery level of a communication device is below a first battery level threshold. The method further includes determining that the communication device is attached to a battery char and determining whether to disable multiple-input and multiple-output operation of the communication device while it is attached to the battery charger.

Controlling multiple-input and multiple-output operation of a communication device when the device is attached to a battery charger

A method for disabling multiple-input and multiple-output operation in a communication device includes communicating data using multiple-input and multiple-output operation, wherein the data is communicated using multiple transceiver paths. Further, the method includes receiving position sensor input and disabling at least a portion of one or more transceiver paths, of the multiple transceiver paths, based on the position sensor input.
