20210392708 | BATTERY MANAGEMENT USING SELECTIVE EN-DC ENABLEMENT - A user equipment (UE) may support establishing an E-UTRAN New Radio-Dual Connectivity (EN-DC) connection with a telecommunication network that involves both a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) connection and a fifth generation (5G) connection. However, the EN-DC connection may drain a battery of the UE more quickly than the LTE connection would alone. Accordingly, an EN-DC switcher executing on the UE can determine when the UE should use the LTE connection alone or use the EN-DC connection, for example based on factors that may indicate when a user of the UE is less likely to perceive improved throughput or other benefits of the EN-DC connection. | 2021-12-16 |

20210392710 | METHOD FOR MANAGING LINK CONNECTION BETWEEN NODES, AND RELATED DEVICE - Provided are a method for managing a link connection between nodes and related devices. The method includes a first mobile node setting up link connections with a plurality of peer network nodes separately through a network interface setup process. | 2021-12-16 |
20210392711 | CONCURRENT COMMUNICATIONS IN A NETWORK - Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless node may determine a first communication configuration for another wireless node. The wireless node may determine a second communication configuration, for the other wireless node, that is different from the first communication configuration, wherein the first communication configuration is a first timing reference and the second communication configuration is a second timing reference that is different from the first timing reference. The wireless node may communicate, with the other wireless node on a downlink, on an uplink, or on a sidelink, using the first communication configuration and the second communication configuration. Numerous other aspects are provided. | 2021-12-16 |
20210392712 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO ESTABLISH SECURE VEHICLE NETWORKS - An embodiment of the invention relates to a method of establishing a secure vehicle network including a plurality of nodes, each of the plurality of nodes including a memory storing a leader/follower field, the method includes establishing a communication path between a first node with a value corresponding to “leader” in the leader/follower field and a second node with a value corresponding to leader in the leader/follower field; and communicating between the first node and the second node over the communication path to establish the secure vehicle network by electing one of the first node and the second node to assign a value corresponding to “follower” to the leader/follower field. | 2021-12-16 |
