    Abstract: A method includes determining that a user device is located within a specified geographical region, and determining that the user device has an active subscription with a terrestrial network operator operating a terrestrial network within the geographical region, the terrestrial network associated with a primary profile stored on a subscriber identity module of the user device. The method also includes, in response to determining that the user device is located within the geographical region and that the user device has an active subscription with the terrestrial network operator, receiving, from the terrestrial network operator, a secondary profile attached to the active subscription and associated with a non-terrestrial communication network. The method further includes storing the secondary profile on an embedded subscriber identity module on the user device, and communicating via the non-terrestrial communication network using the secondary profile.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method of operating a communication network. The method includes receiving input data related to a state of the communication network and operation of the communication network. The method then includes determining a policy for the communication network based on the input data. The policy is a set of features for forming a plurality of communication links in the communication network over a time interval. The plurality of communication links provides one or more paths through the communication network. Determining the policy is based at least in part on utility values of previous policies. The utility values of previous policies are derived using simulation and/or real-world implementation of the previous policies. The communication network is then operated to implement the policy in the time interval.

    Abstract: A computing device may determine, via ultra-wideband ranging, that the computing device is proximate to a second computing device paired with the computing device. The computing device may determine that the second computing device is abie to perform ultra-wideband ranging with a particular set of one or more devices. The computing device may, in response to determining that the computing device is proximate to the second computing device and that the second computing device is able to perform ultra-wideband ranging with the particular set of one or more devices, set an ultra-wideband component of the computing device to a power-saving mode.

    Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses that include a three-dimensional (3D) antenna module for transmitting or receiving electromagnetic millimeter waves (mmWaves). In general, a user equipment (UE) may include the 3D antenna module in a corner of a housing of the UE. The 3D antenna module may include three antenna panels that are generally planar and generally orthogonal to three respective axes of a Cartesian-coordinate system. The 3D antenna module may transmit and receive the electromagnetic mmWaves as part of a wireless link between the UE and another device, such as a satellite that is part of a wireless-communication network. In general, the 3D antenna module may mitigate propagation losses and allow the UE to maintain a link-budget for the wireless link.

    Abstract: A method for detecting coverage problems is provided. The method includes receiving, at data processing hardware, from at least one user equipment (UE), observations. Each observation includes a signal measurement of a signal emitted from a base station and a corresponding location of the signal measurement. The method also includes generating, by the data processing hardware, a coverage map for the base station based on the received observations, the coverage map indicating a signal characteristic of the emitted signal about the base station. The method further includes determining, by the data processing hardware, an estimated characteristic of the base station by feeding the coverage map into a neural network configured to output the estimated characteristic of the base station.

    Abstract: Assigning resources for transmitting signals to a user equipment includes receiving, at a first node having a first coverage area, an indication of an overlapping coverage area from a second node when the second node is a non-terrestrial node having a second coverage area that overlaps with the first coverage area. Request for resources are received from a user equipment in the first coverage area, and resources assignments to the user equipment are determined based on the first message and the received request. The resource assignments include a first resource assignment for communication with the first node and a second resource assignment for communication with the second node. The resource assignments are transmitted in a second message to the user equipment, which then communicates with the first node using the first resource assignment and to communication with the second node using the second resource assignment.

    Abstract: A maritime network provides network coverage for nautical or aerospace vehicles traveling over the sea. Generating the network configuration for the maritime network includes receiving client information for client devices in range of a given node of the maritime network for a period of time that the client devices are traveling asea, as well as location information for the period of time from a plurality of nodes in the network including the given node. Based on the client information and the location information, a network configuration is determined to include a plurality of links to be formed for routing paths through the maritime network. The routing paths are configured to transmit data related to the client devices, and the plurality of links includes a link between the given node and another node in the network that is within a maximum distance from the given node.
