Systems and methods for analyte monitoring, particularly systems and methods for monitoring and managing life of a battery in an analyte sensor system worn by a user, are provided.

Techniques for dynamic configuration of channel state information (CSI) processing units are disclosed. In an example, a user equipment (UE) may determine an operational state of the UE. The UE may also identify a number of channel state information (CSI) processing units that are supported by the UE for calculating and reporting one or more CSI reports based on the operational state of the UE. The UE may also transmit, to a base station, a notification indicating the number of CSI processing units.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to reducing a power consumption of an electronic device while maintaining some functionality of the electronic device while the electronic device is in a low power mode. The device may be in the low power mode due to a battery level being below a threshold. If the battery level is below the threshold, the electronic device may enter the low power mode. However, before entering the low power mode, some functionality of an application processor may be transferred to a communication controller. Once the functionality is transferred, the application processor may be disabled to reduce power consumption while maintaining functionality of the application processor. The electronic device may also utilize various communication protocols to communicate with a peripheral device. Even though the electronic device may be in the low power mode, the communication controller may be used to cause the peripheral device to perform various actions.

Example techniques related to battery-powered playback devices. In an example, a first battery-powered playback device receives audio content from a network device and forwards the audio content to a second playback device for synchronous playback of the audio content with the second playback device, plays back the audio content, detects that a battery level of a battery of the first playback device has fallen below a predefined threshold, and ceases the forwarding of the audio content after the battery level of the battery of the first playback device has fallen below the predefined threshold. After the battery level of the first playback device has fallen below the predefined threshold, the second playback device receives the audio content from the network device, forwards the audio content to the first playback device for synchronous playback with the first playback device, and plays back the audio content in synchrony with the first playback device.

A method of initiating handover of a wireless device includes determining one or more of a low battery condition, a low power headroom, and a high buffer status of a wireless device. The wireless device can be attached to a first access node deploying multiple radio access technologies over a first coverage area. The method further includes identifying a second access node deploying a single radio access technology over a second coverage area encompassing a location of the wireless device, and initiating handover of the wireless device from the first access node to the second access node based at least in part on the one or more of the low battery condition, low power headroom, and high buffer status of the wireless device. Systems and devices relate to initiating handover of a wireless device.

Networked sleep mode management is provided by measuring network conditions for a first Access Point (AP) serving a plurality of Client Devices (CDs) configured to operate in one of a sleep mode and an active mode; in response to detecting, based on the measured network conditions, an amount of network usage devoted to transitioning members of the plurality of CDs from the sleep mode to the active mode satisfies a threshold: identifying a first subset of CDs from the plurality of CDs that are deprioritized for access to the sleep mode; receiving a sleep request from a given CD that is a member of the first subset of CDs; and denying the sleep request to force the given CD to maintain the active mode for at least a predefined amount of time.

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for converging IoT technology with a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate beyond a 4G system, and a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to an intelligent service (for example, a smart home, a smart building, a smart city, a smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, a security and safety-related service, etc.) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. In addition, a method of a terminal, based on the present invention, comprises the steps of: receiving information associated with the sharing of a scheduling resource and a sensing resource; receiving modified resource information based on the connection or disconnection of a terminal that does not support resource sharing; and transmitting/receiving data based on the modified resource information.

A wireless communication device comprises: an antenna; a radio frequency transceiver, for generating signals for transmission through the antenna, the radio frequency transceiver being connectable to the antenna through a switch; a backscattering block, for generating reflected signals for transmission through the antenna in response to received RF signals, the backscattering block being connectable to the antenna through said switch; and a battery. The switch is controlled by an output voltage of the battery, such that the radio frequency transceiver is connected to the antenna through the switch when the output voltage of the battery exceeds a threshold voltage, and the backscattering block is connected to the antenna through the switch when the output voltage of the battery is below the threshold voltage.

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, an electronic device is described. An example electronic device a power meter to capture real-time power draw of the electronic device from a power supply. The example electronic device also includes a controller. An example controller determines (1) an average power draw over a first interval, (2) an average power draw over a second interval, and (3) an overall throttle amount for the electronic device based on the average power draw over the first interval and the average power draw over the second interval. The example electronic device also includes a throttling device to reduce the power draw of the electronic device from the power supply based on the overall throttle amount for the electronic device.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A communication device may receive control signaling indicating a downlink reference signal configuration, for example, a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) configuration. The communication device may receive a downlink reference signal (e.g., a DMRS) over a downlink control channel (e.g., a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH)) during an initial symbol duration of a transmission time interval (TTI). The downlink reference signal may include a set of bits including a first subset of bits including network temporary identifier bits and a second subset of bits including constellation bits associated with a downlink data channel (e.g., a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)). The communication device may process the downlink reference signal (e.g., a DMRS) based on the downlink reference signal configuration (e.g., a DMRS configuration).
