Abstract:
An electronic device includes an antenna configured to receive a wireless signal. The electronic device also includes a first correlator configured to correlate the wireless signal to a communication of a first wireless protocol type and a second correlator configured to correlate the wireless signal to a communication of a second wireless protocol type. Coexistence of LTE and W-LAN, identification of packets and the associated standard, protocol or RAT. Performs autocorrelation with Legacy STF to identify an IEEE 802.11 packet and correlation with DM-RS (or PRACH preamble or PUSCH detection) to identify an LTE communication. A further embodiment concerns the presence of harmonics generated by a transmitter of a first RAT and falling into the received spectrum of a co-located receiver of a second RAT, a filter filters out said harmonics if the two correlators associated to the same frequency band acknowledge detection.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing near field communications during a low power management mode of an electronic device are provided that may make credentials of a near field communication ( "NFC") component appropriately secure and appropriately accessible while also limiting the power consumption of the NFC component and of other components of the electronic device.
Abstract:
An electronic device may have multiple near-field communications antennas. Multiplexer circuitry may have a transceiver port that is coupled to a near-field communications transceiver, and multiple antenna ports coupled to respective near-field communications antennas. Non-near-field communications antennas may be used by non- near-field communications circuitry. The electronic device may have a housing with opposing first and second ends and a display. One of the near-field communications antennas and one of the non-near-field communications antenna may be formed from shared antenna structures at the first end. Another of the near-field communications antennas and another of the non-near-field communications antennas may be formed from shared antenna structures at the second end. An additional near field communications antenna may be overlapped by the display.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to techniques for coordinated channel state information reporting in a wireless communication system. A wireless device may establish a wireless link with a cellular base station. The wireless device may determine to coordinate channel state information reporting with another wireless device. Information may be exchanged with the other wireless device via a sidelink wireless link. The wireless device may provide channel state information to the cellular base station. The channel state information may be determined based at least in part on the information exchanged with the other wireless device via the sidelink wireless link.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device (UE) includes a cellular processor configured to conduct wireless communications according to a first radio access technology (RAT) in a first frequency band and in a second frequency band, wherein the first RAT is a cellular RAT, the first frequency band is in an unlicensed spectrum, and the second frequency band is in a licensed spectrum. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a wireless local area network (WLAN) processor configured to conduct wireless communications according to a second RAT in the first frequency band. In some embodiments, the cellular processor and the WLAN processor are configured to couple to a common antenna for communications in the first frequency band. In some embodiments, the cellular processor may notify the WLAN processor when it is scanning and/or when it is assigned secondary component carriers in the first frequency band. In some embodiments, the WLAN processor may notify the cellular processor when it is transmitting. In some embodiments, the WLAN processor and/or the cellular processor may perform one or more actions in response to such notifications to improve coexistence in the first frequency band.
Abstract:
An electronic device may have a display. A display cover layer and a transparent inner display member may overlap a display pixel layer. The display pixel layer may have an array of display pixels for displaying images for a user. A touch sensor layer may be interposed between the display pixel layer and the transparent display member. A ferromagnetic shielding layer may be mounted below the display pixel layer. A flexible printed circuit containing coils of metal signal lines that form a near-field communications loop antenna may be interposed between the ferromagnetic shielding layer and the display pixel layer. A non-near-field antenna such as an inverted-F antenna may have a resonating element mounted on an inner surface of the display cover layer. The resonating element may be interposed between the transparent display member and the display cover layer.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for determining fine grain motions and vibrations of live and/or inanimate objects are described based on using a radar system. For example, biometric information may be extracted from such vibrations associated with a live object. In different embodiments, processing circuitry may perform different statistical analysis on reflections from the objects. Moreover, the processing circuitry may perform different processing functions based on the statistical analysis to determine the vibrations with high accuracy. Furthermore, the processing circuitry may also select one or multiple target maps based on a field of view of the radar system for a more robust measurement of the vibrations associated with one or multiple objects.
