A method for detecting the state of the proximity sensor, applied to a terminal including the proximity sensor and an antenna, includes: sending a predetermined instruction to the proximity sensor; determining whether the proximity sensor is abnormal based on a feedback result of the proximity sensor to the predetermined instruction; and maintaining the antenna transmitting power at a low power if the proximity sensor is abnormal. Through the feedback of the proximity sensor to the request to obtain the capacitance value, it is determined whether the proximity sensor can work normally, and in a case that the proximity sensor cannot work normally, the antenna transmitting power is reduced to avoid the continuous high antenna transmitting power due to the inability of the proximity sensor to work normally, which reduces the radiation to the human body.

In one example, the wireless computing device monitors for instances of upload transmissions from a wireless communications module of the wireless computing device, performs a running average of the instances of upload transmissions over a period of time, and determines whether the running average exceeds a threshold value. If the running average exceeds the threshold value, the wireless computing device adjusts upload transmissions from the wireless communications module to control the radiation exposure for the wireless computing device.

Measuring an end-to-end delay(s) in a distributed communications system (DCS) is disclosed. The DCS is coupled to a signal source(s) supporting multiple logical channels and includes multiple remote units each communicating in one or more of the logical channels. The DCS is configured to measure an end-to-end delay(s), which includes a path delay(s) between the signal source and the remote units and a local delay(s) at each of the remote units, for each of the logical channels. The measured end-to-end delay(s) can help the signal source to more accurately determine an equivalent coverage range of the DCS, thus making it possible to generate random access preambles for the DCS based on as few Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequences as possible. By generating the random access preambles based on fewer ZC sequences, it is possible to minimize interference among the random access preambles, thus helping to improve random access performance in the DCS.
