    Abstract: Various embodiments to enable Spectrum Access System (SAS) interference mitigation options are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a memory to store a data sequence, and one or more processing devices coupled to the memory. The processing devices to generate an interference metric associated with a first group and a second group of infrastructure nodes of a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network infrastructure based on measurement information. The measurement information comprises measurements related to the transmission of data sequences associated with the first group and the second group. Thereupon, configuration settings are determined for infrastructure nodes of the first group and second group based on the generated interference metric. Each configuration setting represents a frequency band and transmission power level for a corresponding infrastructure node to access data in the LTE network infrastructure.

    Abstract: Smart gesturing may facilitate smart shopping and other contactless experiences by enabling a user to perform a natural gesture toward one or more desired items with or while wearing a wearable or non-wearable electronic device. The electronic device may identify the smart gesture, and determine the one or more desired items are indicated by the smart gesture. The electronic device may identify the desired items by receiving location data of multiple items, determining a vector based on a first position a second position of the smart gesture, extending the vector to a location, and using the location data to determine which item or items correspond to the location. If more than one item is indicated by the smart gesture, the electronic device may enable selection of the items and, if at least one item is selected, provide information on the selected items or enable additional interaction with the selected items.

    Abstract: A communications network may include a relay device that receives device-to-device (D2D) signals. In an ad hoc mode, the relay may consume relatively little power while receiving relatively few messages from relatively few transmitting devices in the D2D signals. In an organized mode, the device may consume relatively high power while receiving many messages from many transmitting devices in the D2D signals. A receiver on the device may transition from the ad hoc mode to the organized mode in response to a first criterion and may transition from the organized mode to the ad hoc mode in response to a second switching criterion. This may allow the device to balance communications load and power consumption while relaying messages such as emergency messages received over D2D signals given that the signals may arrive rarely or in clusters due to an unforeseen event.

    Abstract: Implementations relate to identifying, by a relay device, a first message received from a first requesting device of a plurality of requesting devices; identifying, by the relay device, a second message received from a second requesting device of the plurality of requesting devices; determining, by the relay device based at least in part on a parameter of the first message, that the first message has a first priority level that satisfies a priority threshold; determining, by the relay device based at least in part on a parameter of the second message, that the second message has a second priority level that does not satisfy the priority threshold; transmitting a relay message to a remote device based at least in part on the first message; and transmitting a backoff message to the second requesting device.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including: generating a registration request comprising a capability of the UE to serve as a gateway for a personal Internet-of-things network (PIN); sending the registration request to a base station serving the UE; receiving, from the base station, a registration accept message comprising a PIN gateway authorization; and initiating establishment of the PIN with at least one other device, wherein the UE serves as the gateway of the PIN to the base station.
