A communication system operates in the first power state during a communication session. The system transitions from the first to a second power state, when a first predefined time period expires after transfer of a packet and before a transfer of a next packet, for any of and no more than a first N packets in the communication session. Alternatively or in addition, the system transitions from the first to the second power state when: (a) the first predefined time period expires after transfer of a packet and before transfer of a next packet in the communication session and (b) the size of each packet transferred thus far in the communication session is not greater than S.

A system and method is provided for health management, for performing a parameter measurement in a fluid sample, including a mobile communications device with an application adapted to perform health management for one or more health related conditions; a strip adapted to absorb a fluid sample and to produce a signal indicative of the parameter level in the sample; and a fluid testing apparatus for obtaining an analog measurement of the fluid parameter, the fluid testing apparatus including an adaptor adapted to connect the strip to the mobile communications device to thereby allow delivery of the produced signal or a correlated signal to the mobile communications device for obtaining a measurement of the fluid parameter displayed on the mobile communications device, wherein the fluid testing apparatus relies on the mobile communications device for at least one of power supply and display means, and wherein the system includes a power level adjustment means associated with the device audio jack and/or the adaptor, for providing a suitable power output to operate the fluid testing apparatus.

Proposed is an operation method of a first device (100) in a wireless communication system. The method may comprise the steps of: establishing a sidelink (SL) unicast link with a second device (200); transmitting first SL discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information related to the SL unicast link to the second device (200); transmitting a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) to the second device (200) in an on-duration interval included in the first SL DRX configuration information; and transmitting a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) to the second device (200) on the basis of the PSCCH in the on-duration interval.

Provided are a method and a device for generating a virtual bearer in a wireless communication system. A mobility management entity (MME) acquires context information for a packet data network (PDN) connection generated through a Wi-Fi network, and generates a virtual bearer in a cellular network on the basis of the acquired context information. The virtual bearer may be generated by various methods according to whether a PDN connection mapped to the PDN connection generated through the Wi-Fi network exists in the cellular network and whether a default bearer exists in the cellular network.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive sensor information from a sensor associated with the user equipment, wherein the user equipment is in a deep sleep mode when the sensor information is received. The user equipment may deactivate the deep sleep mode, based at least in part on receiving the sensor information, to permit the user equipment to transmit or decode a network communication.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for controlling Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection close to improve a battery life time of a client such as a smart phone in a wireless communication system are provided. A method of operating a client in a wireless communication system includes determining a data transfer inactivity time of at least one of TCP connections, and closing the at least one of TCP connections at the data transfer inactivity time.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe devices, methods, computer-readable media and systems configurations for managing state transitions of communication circuitries in wireless networks. Embodiments manage radio resource control (RRC) state transitions and/or discontinuous reception (DRX) state transitions. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

According to an embodiment, provided is a Bluetooth device comprising a master module and at least one slave module, wherein: the master module operates in an active mode when a mobile communication device is located within a pre-set range and switches to a power saving mode when the mobile communication device deviates from the pre-set range; in the active mode, the master module performs data communication by being connected to the mobile communication device located within the pre-set range and operates the Bluetooth device by periodically exchanging a packet with the slave module; and in the power saving mode, the master module operates in at least one of a first mode in which a packet exchange cycle with the slave module is adjusted from a first interval to a second interval, and a second mode in which a connection between the master module and the slave module is released.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station may transmit a paging early indication (PEI) via a plurality of transmission beams. The base station may monitor a plurality of reception beams for a PEI response. The base station may transmit, to a user equipment (UE) and when the PEI response is received from the UE via a reception beam of the plurality of reception beams, paging information. Numerous other aspects are described.

A communication device communicates a radio frame including a preamble and a data field of a physical layer (PHY). The preamble includes an L-STF (Legacy Short Training Field), an L-LTF (Legacy Long Training Field), an L-SIG (Legacy Signal Field), an EHT-SIG-A (Extremely High Throughput Signal A Field), an EHT-STF, and an EHT-LTF, and the EHT-SIG-A includes a field indicating a standard that the radio frame complies with.
