A test system includes: a signal processor configured to generate a plurality of orthogonal baseband sequences; a signal generator configured to supply the plurality of orthogonal baseband sequences to a corresponding plurality of RF transmitters of a device under test (DUT), wherein the RF transmitters each employ the corresponding orthogonal baseband sequence to generate a corresponding RF signal on a corresponding channel among a plurality of channels of the DUT such that the RF transmitters output a plurality of orthogonal RF signals at a same time; a combiner network configured to combine the plurality of orthogonal RF signals and to output a single signal under test; and a single channel measurement instrument configured to receive the single signal under test and to measure independently therefrom at least one characteristic of each of the RF transmitters. Orthogonal RF test signals may be used similarly to test RF receivers of the DUT.

A communication device for offloading communication traffic includes: a first means which identifies an attribute of a terminal based on information included in a message transmitted by the terminal to connect to a wireless network; and a second means which processes the message in such a way that the terminal and a base station corresponding to the attribute of the terminal are connected based on the identified attribute.

A communication device for offloading communication traffic is characterized by including: first means for identifying an attribute of a communication terminal based on a message transmitted by the communication terminal to connect to a wireless network; and second means that can instruct the communication terminal to reconnect to a base station corresponding to the attribute according to the identified attribute.

A first computing device may receive an indication of user input that is at least a part of a conversation between a user and a first assistant executing at the first computing device. The first assistant and/or an assistant executing at a digital assistant system may determine whether to handoff the conversation from the first assistant executing at the first computing device to a second assistant executing at a second computing device. In response to determining to handoff the conversation to the second assistant executing at the second computing device, the first assistant and/or the assistant executing at the digital assistant system may send to the second computing device a request to handoff the conversation which includes at least an indication of the conversation.

Embodiments are presented herein of techniques for a mobile device to control timing of inter-RAT handovers. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes one or more processing elements configured to execute an interactive wireless communication application using a wireless communication configuration between the apparatus and a communications network for a first RAT. In some embodiments, the wireless communication configuration does not have a QoS guarantee. In some embodiments, the apparatus is configured to store information from the communications network that specifies one or more wireless thresholds relating to handover from the first RAT to a second RAT. In some embodiments, based on executing the application and current wireless conditions, the apparatus is configured to send a report to a base station of the communications network, prior to at least one of the thresholds being met, to trigger a handover from the first RAT to the second RAT.

A method and a device for anticipating a reconnection, to a second access point, of a mobile station connected to a first access point that forms a wireless telecommunication network. The physical bit rate between the first access point and mobile station with respect to a reception power of a signal sent by a mobile station and received by the first access point from measurements of reception power of signals sent by the mobile station and received by the first access point, calculates physical bit rates between access points and mobile station. A rate of variation of the physical bit rates between access points and mobile stations from measurements obtained and from the modelling, an anticipation of physical bit rate between access points and the mobile stations and determines whether a reconnection of the station to the second access point must be made among other things from the calculated anticipations.

This disclosure relates to cellular service recovery techniques using cell-specific cellular service history information for an accessory device. According to some embodiments, cellular service history information relating to cellular service loss occasions for each of one or more cells from which the accessory device has previously lost cellular service may be stored. It may be determined that cellular service loss is currently occurring from a cell for which cellular service history information relating to cellular service loss occasions is stored. Cellular service recovery may be attempted using the cellular service history information relating to cellular service loss occasions for the cell from which the current cellular service loss is occurring.
