Provided is a method of switching, by a user equipment (UE), a transmission chain across carriers, the method including determining to switch a first transmission chain for a transmission between a first carrier and a second carrier, determining a length of a switching gap during which no transmission or reception occurs on the first carrier and/or the second carrier, locating the switching gap within a switching duration, and switching the first transmission chain between the first carrier and the second carrier during the switching gap.

A terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a control section that judges, on the basis of whether to support antenna port switching between arbitrary antenna port pairs, correspondence between a bit of transmitted precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) group capability information and a TPMI group, and a transmitting section that transmits, on the basis of the correspondence, the TPMI group capability information corresponding to a TPMI group to support full power transmission. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, it is possible to appropriately control full power transmission.

A user equipment device (UE) may be configured to collect first performance information from antennas of a first plurality of antennas. The first plurality of antennas may be coupled to a first radio of the UE that may be configured to perform wireless communications according to a first RAT. The UE may determine, based on at least the first performance information, a highest performing antenna of the first plurality of antennas to use for communications according to the first RAT. Additionally, the UE may determine, also based on at least the first performance information, a first antenna of a second plurality of antennas to use for communications according to a second RAT. The second plurality of antennas may be coupled to a second radio of the UE that may be configured to perform wireless communications according to the second RAT.

Radio frequency (RF) front end circuitry includes RF filtering circuitry with first multiplexer circuitry and second multiplexer circuitry. The first multiplexer circuitry is used to pass primary RF transmit and receive signals within one or more frequency division duplexing (FDD) operating bands and diversity multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) receive signals within one or more time division duplexing (TDD) operating bands between transceiver circuitry and one or more antennas. The second multiplexer circuitry is used to pass primary RF transmit and receive signals within the one or more TDD operating bands and diversity MIMO receive signals within the one or more FDD operating bands between the transceiver circuitry and the one or more antennas.

Wireless communications may use one or more devices for transmission and/or reception that may lead to potentially harmful exposure. One or more safety measures may be used for wireless communication devices, such as maximum power exposure (MPE) reporting and/or related operations. A time window may be used to detect a quantity of exposure instances. A message may be sent indicating exposure, for example, based on a quantity of exposure events during the time window satisfying a threshold.

Disclosed is an electronic device including a first antenna element configured selectively to receive signals of a first frequency band and a second frequency band or of the first frequency band and a third frequency band, a second antenna element configured to receive a signal of the third frequency band, a transceiver configured to be electrically connected with the first antenna element and the second antenna element, and a processor configured to be electrically connected with the transceiver. The electronic device performs carrier aggregation using the second frequency band and the third frequency band.

A wireless audio system including a transmitter using multiple antenna diversity techniques for different signal types is provided. Multipath performance may be optimized, along with improved spectral efficiency of the system.

A wireless communication device communicates with an inductively coupled device via a wireless carrier signal that may be modulated by both the wireless communication device and the inductively coupled device. The inductively coupled signal is transmitted from a transponder antenna of the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device also includes an auxiliary antenna. The auxiliary antenna is enabled while the wireless communication device is receiving a modulated version of the wireless carrier signal from the inductively coupled device.

Apparatus and method securely transfer first data from a source device to a target device. A wireless signal having (a) a higher speed channel conveying second data and (b) a lower speed channel conveying the first data is transmitted. The lower speed channel is formed by selectively transmitting the wireless signal from one of a first and second antennae of the source device based upon the first data. The first and second antenna are positioned a fixed distance apart and the target device uses a received signal strength indication (RSSI) of the first signal to decode the lower speed channel and receive the first data.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform uplink communications on a first radio frequency spectrum band using a first transceiver and a first antenna. The first transceiver may have a first capability configuration. The UE may receive an assignment for uplink communications on a second radio frequency spectrum band and couple a second transceiver to the first antenna to perform the uplink communications on the first radio frequency spectrum band. The spectrum transceiver may have a second capability configuration that is different from the first capability configuration with respect to at least the second radio frequency spectrum band. The UE may switch the first transceiver to a second antenna for the uplink communications on the second radio frequency spectrum band.
