Abstract: Electronic devices may be provided that contain wireless communications circuitry. The wireless communications circuitry may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry with first and second ports that are coupled by switching circuitry to first and second antennas. A first receiver in the transceiver circuitry may be associated with the first port and a second receiver in the transceiver circuitry may be associated with the second port. An electronic device may be operated in a single receiver mode in which only one of the receivers is active to conserve power or a dual receiver mode in which signals from both antennas may be received in parallel to compare antenna performance. Based on antenna performance metrics, the electronic device may adjust the switching circuitry to ensure that an optimal antenna is being used.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for coordinating a user equipment's communication with a network during tune back with C-DRX (connected mode discontinuous receive). When a user equipment tunes back to a network after a tune away or a signal fade, a scheduling request is sent to the network to indicate the tune back as quickly as possible. The user equipment waits for a downlink transmission from the network. When the user equipment does not receive the downlink transmission, the method determines if the connection between the user equipment and the network has been released. The sending of the first scheduling request and any additional scheduling requests is coordinated with the C-DRX configuration so as to maximize the battery savings of C-DRX and minimize the latency of the tune back process in case the user equipment has uplink data to send.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于在用C-DRX（连接模式不连续接收）回调期间协调用户设备与网络的通信的方法。 当用户设备在离开音乐或信号消隐后调谐回网络时，调度请求将被发送到网络，以尽可能快地指示回调。 用户设备等待来自网络的下行链路传输。 当用户设备没有接收到下行链路传输时，该方法确定用户设备和网络之间的连接是否已被释放。 第一调度请求和任何附加调度请求的发送与C-DRX配置协调，以便最大限度地减少C-DRX的电池节省，并且在用户设备具有要发送的上行链路数据的情况下最小化回调过程的等待时间 。

Abstract: A wireless electronic device having first and second baseband processors is provided. In one suitable arrangement, radio-frequency power splitters and adjustable low noise amplifiers may be form in the receive paths. The use of power splitters allow signals associated with the first and second baseband processors to be received in parallel. In another suitable arrangement, radio-frequency switches are used in place of the power splitters. The states of the switches may be controlled using at least one of the first and second baseband processors. The use of switches instead of power splitters requires that wake periods associated with the first baseband processor and wake periods associated with the second baseband processor are non-overlapping. To ensure minimal wake period collision, a wake period associated with the second baseband processor may be positioned at a midpoint between two successive wake periods associated with the first baseband processor.

Abstract: A user device receives packets from a base station. The user device may invoke decoding while the packet is still being received, based on the incomplete contents of a given packet. This "partial packet decoding" relies on the fact that the underlying information in the packet is encoded with redundancy (code rate less than one). If link quality is poor, the partial packet decoding is likely to be unsuccessful, i.e., to fail in its attempt to recover the underlying information. To avoid waste of power, the user device may be configured to apply one or more tests of link quality prior to invoking the partial packet decoding on a current packet.

Abstract translation: 用户设备从基站接收分组。 基于给定分组的不完整内容，用户设备可以在分组仍在接收时调用解码。 这种“部分分组解码”依赖于以冗余（码率小于1）对分组中的底层信息进行编码的事实。 如果链路质量差，则部分分组解码可能不成功，即在尝试恢复基础信息时失败。 为了避免浪费电力，用户设备可以被配置为在对当前分组调用部分分组解码之前应用一个或多个链路质量测试。

Abstract: Electronic devices may be provided that contain wireless communication circuitry. The wireless communication circuitry may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry coupled to multiple antennas. An electronic device may alternate between a sleep mode and a wake mode. During wake mode, the electronic device may monitor a paging channel in a wireless network for incoming paging signals. The device may use a selected one of the multiple antennas in monitoring the paging channel. If received signal quality is satisfactory, the device may maintain use of the selected one of the multiple antennas for subsequent wake period monitoring of the paging channel. If received signal quality falls below a threshold or is otherwise indicated to not be satisfactory, the device may switch to use of a different one of the multiple antennas in monitoring the paging channel. Other criteria may also be used in controlling the switching between antennas for paging channel monitoring.
