In some embodiments, a method includes receiving, at a first wireless device of a plurality of wireless devices, a data packet including an indication of a source of the data packet. In response to the first wireless device being associated with the source of the data packet, whether the first wireless device is a local repeater can be determined based on at least one of a random number or a number of wireless devices of the plurality of wireless devices. In response to the first wireless device being determined to be a local repeater, the first wireless device can be caused to be configured as a local repeater such that the first wireless device sends the data packet to at least one remaining wireless device of the plurality of wireless devices.

A dynamic specific absorption rate (SAR) may be implemented by monitoring and controlling power utilization of the various radio frequency (RF) emitting components over time within a mobile device. Power utilization may be tracked and modified to control the time-averaged RF exposure over a rolling time window. Periodically calculations of the updated rolling averages for RF transmissions may be performed based on the transmission data received from the mobile device components, and the continuously updated rolling averages of RF transmissions may be compared to time-average power utilization limits. Based on such comparisons, the mobile device may dynamically adjust the current transmissions of the radio transceivers and other RF emitting components on the mobile device.

A method, a non-transitory computer readable medium, and a mobile device are disclosed for reducing battery consumption of mobiles devices with location settings. The method includes: enabling a location setting on the mobile device, the location setting having an on state and an off state, the on state being a state in which location services are available to applications on the mobile device and the off state being a state in which location services are not available to applications on the mobile device; checking a battery life of the mobile device; and when the battery life of the mobile device is less than or equal to a preset threshold: changing a status of the location setting on the mobile device to the off state when the mobile device is not running an application that is using the location services; or maintaining the location setting in the on state.

In certain example embodiments, an apparatus may comprise at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to determine that at least one obstacle has entered at least one predefined region and transmit to at least one network entity at least one indication comprising at least one predicted-power back off (P-PBO) value. The at least one memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to generate at least one predictive-PBO report (P-PBOR) and transmit the at least one P-PBOR to the at least one network entity.

A terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a control section that determines a transmission power of a specific uplink signal based on a quasi-co-location (QCL) parameter of a specific downlink signal, when the control section applies the QCL parameter for a spatial relation of the specific uplink signal, and a transmitting section that transmits the specific uplink signal by using the transmission power. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, the parameters for the UL transmission can be appropriately determined.

Systems and methods for confirming the presence of a person or asset for a given purpose, and recording this information in a distributed ledger. The distributed ledger records and confirms presence indicia in connection with a transaction said facilitates remote and/or automated signatures. The systems and methods detect the presence of one or more humans and/or computing devices at a specific location at the time of a transaction, and contemporaneously recording information concerning the transaction in a distributed ledger. Presence can be determined using network presence sensing (NPS), other types of sensors, or the combination of NPS with other sensors.

A data processing method includes initiating, to a cloud server, a first message used to access a roadside device or used to obtain signal transmit power-related information of static roadside equipment, receiving a second message fed back by the cloud server, where the second message is determined by the cloud server based on the first message and a prestored high-definition map, and the second message includes related information about accessing the roadside device by the vehicle-end device, or the signal transmit power-related information of the static roadside equipment, and accessing the roadside device based on the second message or determining a signal transmit power of the vehicle-end device based on the second message.
