Methods, devices, and systems embodiments enable recovering from an out-of-service state in a wireless device. A processor may perform scans of first and second acquisition databases to acquire a first renewed service connection for a first subscriber identification module (SIM). The scans include first and second searches for first channels identified in first and second technology lists, respectively, from the first and second acquisition database, respectively, until either a renewed service connection is acquired or each of the first and second technology lists are exhausted. The first and second technology lists identify channels from a most recently used radio access technology of the respective acquisition databases. The processor may perform a full frequency scan to acquire a first renewed service connection for the first SIM in response to determining that each of the first and second technology lists were exhausted. |

The present disclosure sets forth multiple embodiments of the invention. Among those embodiments is a method for managing the power of an uplink signal (e.g., an LTE PUSCH or PUCCH). The method involves determining a convolution of a first function and a second function (which may be power density functions) of the uplink signal and determining the power of the uplink signal based on the convolution. The uplink signal comprises one or both of a data signal (transmitted over a PUSCH, for example) and a control signal (transmitted over a PUSCH or PUCCH, for example). The uplink signal is transmitted over one or more subcarriers (which may be carried by resource blocks, for example). |

An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic device capable of continuing a telephone call, even in a case in which power is received from a battery charger while the telephone call is made. The electronic device includes a power receiving unit and a speaker unit. The power receiving unit receives power from the battery charger by electromagnetic waves. The speaker unit outputs sound in a first mode or a second mode. The first mode is a sound output mode when the electronic device is made proximate to a user's ear. The second mode is a sound output mode when the electronic device is separated from the user's ear. In a case in which the power receiving unit is receiving power, the speaker unit outputs sound in the second mode. |

Systems, apparatus, methods, and manufactures for conserving power in a communications system such as a communications service cell site or cell site. The methods include adjusting the RF coverage of the cell site antenna, selective control of the RF output transmit power, selective control of the communications bit rate, transfer of communications to other cell sites, adjustment of indicators such that mobile devices transfer communications to other cell sites, and reallocation of logical slots between radios in the cell site. In some examples, the cell site employs a power controller. The power controller may utilize a switching circuit to produce two different voltages from a single battery string during a commercial power failure with improved conversion efficiencies. In another example, a power controller may manage multiple rectifiers so that the rectifiers operate more efficiently, such as with approximately equal runtime and with regular testing. |

An uplink power control that is applied to a user equipment (300) when in communication with a serving radio base station (10) and at least one other radio base station (20) involves generating a quality representation of an uplink control channel (12) from the user equipment (300) to the serving radio base station (10). The quality representation is compared to a threshold value and this comparison defines a selective processing of transmit power control commands received by the user equipment (300) from the serving and/or non-serving radio base stations (10, 20). |
