20230050720 · 2023-02-16 ·

Techniques for wireless communications are described. A first device may receive first control signaling that may indicate a second device in a wireless communications system. The first device may then identify, based on the received first control signaling, a set of devices for tracking the second device in the wireless communications system. In some examples, the first device may then transmit second control signaling to the identified set of devices for tracking the second device in the wireless communications system. The first device may then receive, based on the transmitted second control signaling, coordination information from the set of devices. The received coordination information may be associated with the second device. The coordination information collected by the set of devices may be used to predict changes in an environment surrounding the second device. By predicting dynamic changes in the environment, disruptions in wireless communication may be prevented.

Moreover, in some examples, the at least one investigator device may send a notification to an administrator of the AP based on the condition of the plurality of antennas.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DEVICE-ANONYMOUS PERFORMANCE MONITORING IN A WIRELESS NETWORK

An application, executed by a User Equipment (“UE”), may receive an identifier, which may be used to monitor Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) associated with the UE. Such KPIs may be monitored in conjunction with execution of the application, such as at times that the application sends and/or receives traffic. The KPIs may be associated with sensor data, resources, and/or other features or functionality of the UE. The UE may obtain an identifier associated with the application and/or the UE from a KPI monitoring system of some embodiments, may obtain user consent to monitor and/or report KPIs associated with the application, and may provide such KPIs to the KPI monitoring system in conjunction with the identifier. The KPI monitoring system may generate aggregated KPI information, associated with the application, based on the KPIs received from the UE and/or KPIs received from one or more other sources.
