    Abstract: An electronic device (201, 301, 302) according to an embodiment may include a first battery (281), a second battery (282), a charging circuit (380, 381) configured to supply power to the first battery through a first path and supply power to the second battery through a second path, and a processor (220). According to an embodiment, the processor may be configured to control the charging circuit to generate a current corresponding to a sum of a first threshold current of the first battery and a second threshold current of the second battery based on power received from a power transmitter (305). According to an embodiment, the processor may be configured to, based on the current, control the charging circuit to supply a first current to the first battery through a first path and a second current to the second battery through a second path. According to an embodiment, the processor may be configured to identify the second current supplied to the second battery through the second path. According to an embodiment, the processor may be configured to, based on identifying that the second current exceeds the second threshold current, control the charging circuit so as to reduce the magnitude of the second current supplied to the second battery. In addition, various embodiments are possible.

    Abstract: The devices, systems, methods, and techniques described herein provide for efficient operation of a user equipment (UE) configured to support mobility mechanisms while using connected mode discontinuous reception (CDRX). In some aspects, a UE configured to use CDRX may measure objects according to a No DRX minimum measurement period (e.g., a minimum measurement period configured when no DRX is used). Because the No DRX minimum measurement period may be shorter than a DRX minimum measurement period, the UE may be able to measure objects more frequently and improve mobility performance. Further, although the UE may perform measurements according to the No DRX minimum measurement period, the UE may still report the measurements according to a DRX minimum measurement period. Thus, the UE may report measurements less frequently, and the UE may sleep during more off-durations of a CDRX cycle, resulting in reduced power consumption.
