A communication device is described comprising a receiver configured to receive data comprising information representing a required quality of service of the transmission of the data, hardware resources configured to perform a processing of the data and a controller configured to set a speed of the processing of the data by the hardware resources based on the determined required quality of service.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication in a user equipment (UE) are described in which a cycle duration of an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) cycle is determined. The UE enters a sleep state of the eDRX cycle and, based on the determination of the cycle duration, uses a first clock as a timer during the sleep state and uses a second clock as a timing calibrator during the sleep state. The first clock may have a lower power consumption and a higher frequency error, and the second clock may have a higher power consumption and a lower frequency error.

Disclosed herein are techniques to enable remote discovery of connectivity capabilities and remote connection of devices in a power efficient manner. In particular, discovery and connection requests for connectivity capabilities utilizing a first radio may be communicated using a second radio, the second radio utilizing a lower amount of power relative to the first radio. For example, connectivity capabilities such as Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, WiGig, Zigbee can be discovered and connection request communicated using a Bluetooth radio.

Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems including a communication device having a first transceiver to communicate with a first device through a first communication link, and a second transceiver to communicate with a second device through a second communication link. In addition, there may be a third communication link between the first device and the second device. For the communication device, the second transceiver may consume less power for the second communication link than a power the first transceiver consumes to communicate through the first communication link. The communication device may communicate a traffic with the first device via the second device, through the second and third communication links, using the second transceiver. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

An electronic apparatus that may be enabled by a user's simple operation to a touch panel, a control method of the electronic apparatus, and a control program of the electronic apparatus are provided. An electronic apparatus includes a contact detector for detecting a contact, an acceleration detector for detecting acceleration, a display for displaying an image, and controllers for controlling, when the acceleration detector detects predetermined acceleration caused by a first tap and, within a predetermined period therefrom, the contact detector detects a contact caused by a second touch, to carry out an operation based on the contact.

An apparatus and method for a framework exposing an API (application programming interface) to web-based server applications on the internet or in the cloud is presented. The API allows server applications to retrieve sensor data from a mobile device via a low-power sensor core processor on a mobile device. This API eliminates effort and cost associated with developing and promoting a new mobile device client application. The API framework includes APIs that web-based application may use to fetch sensor data from one or more particular sensors on the mobile device.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may support dynamic clock switching within a transmission time interval (TTI) to allow for more efficient and flexible processing within the TTI. In particular, a user equipment (UE) may be configured to use multiple clock speeds for processing signals within a TTI, and the UE may determine a clock speed to use for processing data within a TTI based on control information received from a base station. For example, the UE may determine an amount of time available for processing data based on the control information received from the base station, and the UE may adjust its clock speed to finish processing the data in the determined amount of time.

Example systems and methods are provided for maintaining a system clock during a sleep mode of a mobile communication device. An example system may include a high frequency clock circuit configured to generate a system clock, and a low frequency clock circuit configured to generate a sleep clock, where the sleep clock has a lower frequency than the system clock. The example system may further include a sleep system configured to deactivate the system clock in response to the mobile communication device entering sleep mode. The sleep system may include a sleep counter configured to use the sleep clock to maintain a sleep count for the deactivated system clock during the sleep mode, and a calibration unit configured to activate a calibration clock at periodic intervals during the sleep mode and utilize the calibration clock to calibrate a frequency of the sleep clock.

A communications system and method provides power-saving while maintaining required protocol timing resolution. In a communication system that requires a high-frequency, high-precision, but high-power, clock source to meet timing requirements, selective disablement and re-enablement of the high-frequency clock provides for both timing precision and power reduction in the system.

An electronic device includes a first processor; and a second processor; and a third processor. The second processor is configured to detect an event, select one of the first and third processors to perform one or more operations associated with the event, and cause the selected processor to perform the one or more operations.
