Disclosed is an electronic device. The electronic device includes a communicator comprising communication circuitry and a processor, the processor is configured to control the communicator to perform communication with an external device based on identifying that a strength of a signal received from an external device is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, and after converting an electronic device to a low power mode, based on identifying that a strength of a signal received from an external device being within a first range, to control the electronic device to perform a secure pairing operation.

A cell measurement method. According to the method, a terminal device determines that a first cell as a camped cell of the terminal device; and then determines that the terminal device is in a target environment. The terminal device further obtains a signal strength of the first cell and performs a measurement on a second cell when the signal strength of the first cell is less than a first threshold and greater than a second threshold. The second cell determined by the terminal device based on the target environment. The terminal device switches the camped cell of the terminal device from the first cell to the second cell when a measurement result of the second cell meets a handover condition.

A communication apparatus includes an establishment unit configured to establish a first link and a second link with another communication apparatus in a plurality of frequency channels where wireless communication compliant with an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 series standard is performed, and a notification unit configured to, in a case where information about operation of the first link established by the establishment unit is changed, notify the other communication apparatus of the changed information about the operation of the first link via the second link.

A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network determines a snapshot value of a serving link signal received quality while the UE is permitted to refrain from performing neighbor link measurements. Responsive to detecting, while the UE is permitted to refrain from performing neighbor link measurements, that signal received quality of a serving link has dropped by at least a threshold amount below the snapshot value, the UE performs a neighbor link measurement.

A wireless device receives configuration parameters of a primary cell and a secondary cell. In response to the secondary cell cross-carrier scheduling the primary cell, the wireless device determines radio link monitoring reference signals based on: one or more first control resource sets (coresets) of the primary cell and one or more second coresets of the secondary cell. The wireless device measures the radio link monitoring reference signals for radio link monitoring of the primary cell.

An uplink transmission and reception method and device in wireless communication system are disclosed. A method by which a terminal performs uplink transmission in a wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, may comprise the steps of: receiving configuration information related to a plurality of sounding reference signal (SRS) resource sets; receiving downlink control information (DCI), which indicates at least one from among a first SRS resource set, a second SRS resource set, or the first SRS resource set and the second SRS resource set and includes information indicating at least one SRS resource in the indicated at least one SRS resource set; and performing the uplink transmission on the basis of the indicated at least one SRS resource.

A method of a communication circuit includes: using an analog circuit to receive and process a beacon signal transmitted from an antenna unit and through a channel to generate a baseband signal; using a digital circuit to process the baseband signal; during a predetermined early reception period corresponding to the beacon signal sent from a base station, waking up the analog circuit and at least one portion of the digital circuit to detect the signal power strength of the channel; and, determining whether make the analog circuit and the digital circuit enter a standby mode to save power according to the signal power strength.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for paging early indication (PEI) and paging subgrouping are described herein. One described user equipment (UE) includes a set of one or more transceivers and a processor. The processor is configured to transmit, via the set of one or more transceivers, UE assistance information including a preferred time offset between receipt of a PEI by the UE and receipt of a paging occasion (PO) by the UE; transition from a sleep state to an awake state prior to the PO; and monitor for the PEI via the set of one or more transceivers, after transitioning to the awake state.

Technologies directed to improving power for wireless transceivers are described. One method determines, in a first mode, a first value associated with a wireless link and a second values associated with the wireless link, the first value being indicative of a first metric and the second value being indicative of a second metric different from the first metric. The first value and the second value collectively indicate a category of channel quality for the wireless link. The method determines that the wireless device can operate in a second mode for subsequent data based on the category of channel quality, wherein in the second mode the wireless device consumes less power than in the first power mode. The method receives, in the second mode, second data over the wireless link.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, configuration information that indicates one or more first measurement types. Accordingly, the UE may transmit, to the base station, periodically and while the UE is in an idle mode or an inactive state, first measurements based at least in part on the one or more first measurement types indicated in the configuration information. In some aspects, the UE may further transmit, to the base station, second measurements based at least in part on a second measurement type. The first measurement type(s) may be associated with a minimization of drive test (MDT). Similarly, the second measurement type may be associated with an MDT. Numerous other aspects are provided.
