Embodiments relate to a computer system and computer program product for allocating resources and settings in order to optimize application satisfaction in view of hardware resources and adjustable software configurations. As applications are executed on a computing device, usage data is tracked, adjustable settings are identified, and power consumption of each application under different settings is measured. The usage data is then compiled, an optimal configuration setting is assessed for each application, and the setting is conveyed and applied to one or more applications.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first node of a wireless network may transmit, by a first distributed unit (DU) of the first node to a central unit (CU), a second DU of another node in the wireless network, a user equipment in the wireless network, or a child node of the first node, an indication of a suggested resource pattern for the DU. The first node may transmit or receive a communication in the wireless network based at least in part on a resource pattern that is received in connection with transmitting the indication. Numerous other aspects are described.

A portable encoded information reading (EIR) terminal for incorporation in a data collection system can comprise a terminal module communicatively coupled to a wireless interface module via a wired interface.
