20220141777 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING HEAT GENERATION IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE, ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND STORAGE MEDIUM FOR THE SAME - An electronic device includes a plurality of antenna modules, a first communication circuit communicating in a first communication scheme via at least one antenna module The electronic device also includes a second communication circuit communicating in a second communication scheme. The electronic device further includes a temperature sensor, a processor and a memory storing instructions. The instructions are configured to, when executed, enable the at least one processor to detect a temperature associated with the antenna module or the first communication circuit while communicating via the first communication circuit, identify a first control step among a plurality of control steps based on an operation type of the electronic device and the at least one temperature detected, and limit at least some operations on at least one of the at least one antenna module or the first communication circuit, corresponding to the identified first control step. | 05-05-2022 |
20220141779 | RECEIVER AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL - Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may determine an automatic gain control parameter, for a group of downlink symbols associated with a base station, based at least in part on an automatic gain control resource included in the group of downlink symbols. The user equipment may perform, based at least in part on the automatic gain control parameter, automatic gain control for one or more data symbols included in the group of downlink symbols. Numerous other aspects are provided. | 05-05-2022 |
