A method for operating an appliance, the appliance including a user interface and a wireless connection module. The method includes establishing a wireless connection between the appliance and a wireless network via the wireless connection module, determining that the appliance is communicating with a remote server via the wireless connection module in response to establishing the wireless connection, and disabling a disconnect button on the user interface for disconnecting the appliance from the wireless connection in response to determining the communication between the appliance and the remote server.

A device includes a BLUETOOTH low energy (BLE) link layer (LL) controller configured to maintain a link cluster including multiple links between the device and one or more connected devices that share parameters associated with the link cluster and to process data associated with the links of the link cluster at a LL. The links of the link cluster established according to a BLE communication standard. The device further includes or is coupled to BLE physical link (PHY) interfaces coupled to the BLE LL controller and configured to exchange the data on different links of the link cluster at different respective signal frequencies, interface with the BLE LL controller, and process the data at a PHY layer.

A system and methods for performing phased reconfiguration in a wireless communications system are disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may perform a phased reconfiguration from a source cell to a target cell. The WTRU may be connected to the source cell and may execute a first set of functions towards the source cell. The WTRU may monitor for a first set of preconfigured trigger conditions and a second set of preconfigured trigger conditions. The WTRU may commence a second set of functions towards the target cell based on detection of at least one of the first set of preconfigured trigger conditions while continuing to execute the first set of functions towards the source cell. The WTRU may cease to perform at least a subset of the first set of functions towards the source cell based on detection of at least one of the second set of preconfigured trigger conditions.

Methods and apparatuses are described herein for multi-subscriber identification module (SIM) connected mode operation. In one embodiment, a wireless communications device may receive, from an access stratum interface, a request access to the receiver chain during a receiving opportunity. The wireless communications device may determine that the receiver chain is available during the receiving opportunity. The wireless communications device may send a response indicating access is granted to cause the access stratum interface to receive a downlink transmission during the receiving opportunity. The wireless communications device may receive, from the access stratum interface, a second request for a transmitter chain during a transmitting opportunity. The wireless communications device may determine that the transmitter chain is available during the transmitting opportunity. The wireless communications device may send a second response indicating access is granted to enable the access stratum interface to transmit an uplink transmission during the transmitting opportunity.

An electronic device may include: a communication circuit; and a processor operatively connected to the communication circuit. The processor may be configured to generate a communication link to a first electronic device for audio by using the communication circuit, and when identifying a first state in which the remaining battery capacity of the electronic device for audio is smaller than the remaining battery capacity of the first electronic device for audio, and a difference between the remaining battery capacity of the electronic device for audio and the remaining battery capacity of the first electronic device for audio is greater than or equal to a threshold value, change a master role from the electronic device for audio to the first electronic device for audio. Various other embodiments may be provided.

Embodiments of this application provide a method for adjusting a quantity of data streams, a terminal, and a MIMO system. In this method, the terminal may actively negotiate the quantity of transport layers used in a downlink data transmission process with a network device based on an operation status of the terminal, so as to adaptively and dynamically adjust the quantity of data streams in the downlink data transmission process. This may reduce power consumption of the terminal and prolong a standby time of the terminal without affecting user experience while meeting requirements for a data transmission rate of the terminal.
