Appl. No.:

17/166501

International Classification:

H04W 52/38
H04B 17/309

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for distinguishing between an antenna of a user equipment (UE) being blocked by a cover or by human tissue. The transmission power of uplink signals may be adjusted accordingly, with higher transmission power for open space (OS) or a cover and lower transmission power for tissue. One example method for wireless communications by a UE generally includes receiving a plurality of cross-polarization captures from multiple antenna arrays of the UE; detecting that the cross-polarization captures correspond to a first OS circle in an in-phase/quadrature (IQ) plane out of a set of possible OS circles for the UE; based on the detection, assigning the first OS circle as an active OS circle for the UE and deactivating other possible OS circles in the set; determining an environmental scenario corresponding to the active OS circle; and transmitting a signal using a transmission power based on the determined scenario.

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for improving inter-Radio Access Technology (RAT) measurements. A user equipment (UE) determines, while in a connected state Discontinuous Reception (CDRX) mode in a first cell of a first Radio Access Technology Network (RAT), that a second cell of a second RAT is to be measured. The UE schedules at least two operational periods related to transitioning between ON and OFF states of the CDRX mode to overlap, to increase a period available for measuring signals in the second cell.
