CPC Class H04W

An access control device including a credential reader circuit structured to enter a standby mode, awaken from the standby mode, and receive data from a nearby credential, and a credential detection circuit. The credential detection circuit includes a memory configured to store program instructions, an antenna circuit, and a processor electrically coupled to the antenna circuit and to the credential reader circuit, wherein the processor configured to execute the stored program instructions to: transmit an energizing signal; receive a modulated energizing signal with the antenna circuit; transmit an activation signal to the credential reader circuit in response to the received modulated energizing signal, wherein the received modulated energizing signal includes I and Q values; receive a false detection signal from the credential reader circuit; and adjust an impedance of the antenna circuit.

Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for facilitating cable plugging in a network by wirelessly reading, by a mobile device, connector identifying information from a tag associated with a cable connector at one end of a cable to be plugged in the network. The mobile device uses the connector identifying information to ascertain guidance for where to properly plug the cable connector in the network, and based on ascertaining the guidance, an action is performed to assist in properly plugging the cable connector in the network.

Embodiments disclose a multi-frequency transceiver and a base station. The multi-frequency transceiver is connected to an antenna, and includes: at least one transmit multiplexer, where each transmit multiplexer includes multiple transmit paths, and each transmit path is used to transmit one frequency band by using the antenna; and at least one receive multiplexer, where each receive multiplexer includes multiple receive paths, and each receive path is used to receive one frequency band by using the antenna.

The communication device includes a switching controller. In a case where the communication band to be used is a second frequency band between a second lower edge frequency and a second upper edge frequency or in a case where the communication band to be used is a first frequency band between a first lower edge frequency and a first upper edge frequency and a frequency of the signal to be used is included in a first passband, the switching controller controls a filter switcher to switch to a first filter. In a case where the communication band to be used is a third frequency band between a third lower edge frequency and a third upper edge frequency or in a case where the communication band to be used is a first frequency band and the frequency of the signal to be used is included in a second passband, the switching controller controls the filter switcher to switch to a second filter. The third lower edge frequency is higher than the second lower edge frequency, and the third upper edge frequency is higher than the second upper edge frequency.

The present invention relates to a phone holder for holding a mobile phone. The holder includes at least one lateral support. At least one insert can be located between the lateral support and the phone. Preferably, the insert can be replaceable, and the lateral support is manufactured separately and fastenable to a common body used with holders for multiple phone types.

Communications receivers and devices are disclosed. A communications receiver includes a low noise amplifier; a multi-band transmit blocking filter having a first port connected to an output of the low noise amplifier, and an RF analog-to-digital converter having an input connected to a second port of the multi-band transmit blocking filter. The multi-band transmit filter passes the receive frequencies of a group of two or more LTE bands, where a first receive frequency range of a first band in the group and a second receive frequency range of a second band in the group are disjoint and not subsets of a receive frequency range of a third band in the group, and attenuates the transmit frequencies of at least some bands in the group by at least twenty dB.

Coverage enhancements and coverage mode switching related optimizations are discussed for user equipments (UEs) that may switch between various coverage extension (CE) and non-CE modes of operation. In such enhancements, paging uncertainty and delays may be reduced by sending pages either simultaneously or using historical information over multiple coverage modes available to UEs. Random access procedures may be improved by providing CE mode random access procedures that are available when normal mode random access attempts fail and before declaring radio link failure. Additional aspects include improvements for more advanced UEs to improve coverage within normal mode operations by leveraging techniques used for narrowband CE mode operations, including transmission repetition and gapless transmission scheduling over hopped narrowband frequencies.
