Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating phase jump estimation for SL DMRS bundling are disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving, from another device, first information at a first symbol of a first slot, the first slot including at least the first symbol and a first reference signal. The example method also includes receiving second information at a second symbol of a second slot, the second slot including at least the second symbol and a second reference signal, the first information and the second information being repetitions. The example method also includes generating a first reference signal copy based at least on the second reference signal and a phase jump between the first slot and the second slot. Additionally, the example method includes performing channel estimation across the first slot and the second slot based on an aggregation of the first reference signal and the first reference signal copy.

A method and electronic device are provided for adjusting an output power of an RF signal to be output to an antenna, based on a proximity of an object and a shape (or configuration) of the electronic device. The electronic device may include a proximity sensor, an antenna corresponding to the proximity sensor, a power amplifier corresponding to the antenna, and a processor configured to control the power amplifier to output a first RF signal having a first output power to the antenna, identify the antenna corresponding to the proximity sensor, based on proximity of an object being detected by the proximity sensor, identify, using a power table configured for the antenna, a second output power corresponding to a shape of the electronic device and the proximity of the object being detected, wherein the second output power is different from the first output power, and control the power amplifier to output a second RF signal having the second output power, to the antenna.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a wireless communications system, a first user equipment (UE) may receive a message from a second UE via a set of one or more antennas, where a first symbol period and a second symbol period of the message include a duplicated signal, and the first symbol period is immediately prior to the second symbol period in a time domain. The first UE may calculate a correlation between first data included in the first symbol period and second data included in the second symbol period of the message for each antenna of the set of one or more antennas. In some cases, the first UE may power down at least one radio frequency chain based on the result of the calculated correlation satisfying a threshold value.

A wireless communication device and method for operating the same for mitigating interference in a wireless communication network are provided. Generally, the method includes sensing with the wireless communication device pulses of electromagnetic radiation recurring within a band of frequencies used by the device for communication of signals, identifying the pulses as interference, and determining a number of frequencies of the interference within the band of frequencies used by the wireless communication device. Next, a sensitivity of the wireless communication device is reduced upon sensing one of the pulses and repeated at a frequency corresponding to the frequency of the interference. Thus, a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation around the wireless communication device is perceived by the device as free of interference, enabling it to transmit and/or receive more often. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for reducing power consumption in a receiver of a time slotted communication system. An RF front end has power applied after the start of a preamble or after the start of a header, or upon the start of a packet payload based on connection status, signal level, and interference level. Where the signal level is constant, the communication system is in a connected state, and the interference level is low, the system bypasses packet header destination address matching, or optionally, uses only the least significant bits of the header destination address for matching purposes.

The present invention relates to an electronic device, comprising a modem which: when simultaneously connected to a master cell group according to a first communication mode and a secondary cell group according to a second communication mode, if a transmission power of a first uplink signal transmitted to the master cell group is greater than or equal to a preset maximum transmission power, controls a plurality of power amplification units such that transmission of a second uplink signal to be transmitted to the secondary cell group is deferred; and, if the transmission of the second uplink signal remains deferred for a preset time period, stops the transmission of the first uplink signal for a certain period of time and transmits the second uplink signal, thereby maintaining connectivity to the secondary cell group even when the transmission of the second uplink signal is deferred.
