    Abstract: This application sets forth techniques for cellular wireless network characterization and selection based on wireless device usage, including selection of a public land mobile network (PLMN) and/or a subscriber identity module (SIM) best matched to PLMN characterized performance scores and/or habitual device usage of a wireless device. Network performance scores for multiple PLMNs based on crowd-sourced information are downloaded to a wireless device. The wireless device determines a best match between characterized network performance scores to habitual device usage characterization of the wireless device. A best matched roaming PLMN can be determined for a single SIM wireless device. A best matched SIM paired with a best matched PLMN can be chosen as a primary SIM to optimize roaming performance of a multiple SIM wireless device. Additionally, a SIM, associated with a best matched PLMN, can be recommended for installation to a multiple SIM capable wireless device.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to perform measurements during two or more measurement gaps (MGs). The UE receives a MG configuration, wherein the MG configuration includes multiple MGs and MG conflict resolution information, determines whether a conflict exists between two or more of the MGs, selects at least one of the two or more MGs that have the conflict based on the MG conflict resolution information and performs signal measurements during the selected at least one of the two or more MGs that have the conflict.

    Abstract: A communications system may include user equipment (UE) that transmits data to a recipient via a network. The UE may receive user input and may generate the data based on the input. When a terrestrial network is unavailable to the UE, the UE may transmit segments of the data over a satellite constellation as the UE continues to receive input and while connectivity to the constellation exceeds a threshold. If a portion of the input includes an edit to a previous segment, the UE may include an edit flag in the corresponding segment. Once input has finished, the UE may sign the segments and may transmit a signature over the constellation. The network may store the segments as received from the constellation, may replace edited segments with more recent segments containing edit flags, and may compile and transmit all of the segments to the recipient upon receipt of the signature.

    Abstract: A method for decoding an image according to the present invention may comprise the steps of: deriving a residual coefficient of a current block; dequantizing the residual coefficient; deriving a common residual signal by performing inverse transform of the dequantized residual coefficient; and deriving a first residual signal of a first chroma component and a second residual signal of a second chroma component on the basis of the common residual signal.

    Abstract: A device may include a light-folded projector that may include an infrared (IR) light emitter and a light folding element. The light folding element may receive IR light emitted from the IR light emitter and fold the IR light one or more times to guide the IR light passing through the light folding element to exit the device to an environment. The device may also include a detector that may detect and/or recognize an object in the environment using the IR light from the light-folded projector, and a front-facing camera to capture images of the environment in front of the device.

    Abstract: An electronic device may include wireless circuitry having an on-chip transformer. The transformer may convey a radio-frequency signal and may include a primary coil and a secondary coil. The primary coil may have a center tap. A distributed capacitor array (DCA) may be coupled to the primary coil around the center tap. The DCA may include switchable capacitors coupled in parallel between ground and points on the primary coil on either side of the center tap. When active, each switchable capacitor contributes a different weighting to the operation of the transformer based on its distance from the center tap. A set of one or more of the switchable capacitors may be activated to contribute an asymmetric weighting to the operation of the transformer that mitigates process-related asymmetry in the transformer. This may serve to mitigate undesired common mode to direct mode signal conversion by the transformer.

    Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant to provide extension of digital assistant services are provided. An example method includes, at an electronic device having one or more processors, receiving, from a first user, a first speech input representing a user request. The method further includes obtaining an identity of the first user; and in accordance with the user identity, providing a representation of the user request to at least one of a second electronic device or a third electronic device. The method further includes receiving, based on a determination of whether the second electronic device or the third electronic device, or both, is to provide the response to the first electronic device, the response to the user request from the second electronic device or the third electronic device. The method further includes providing a representation of the response to the first user.

    Abstract: In various implementations, a device includes an environmental sensor, a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the environmental sensor and the non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes, while the device is in a physical environment that includes a fixed spatial point and a person, obtaining, via the environmental sensor, spatial data corresponding to a-physical environment and the person. The method includes determining, based on the spatial data, a position of a first body portion of the person relative to the fixed spatial point. Determining the position of the first body portion is based on a distance between the device and the fixed spatial point and based on a distance between the device and the first body portion. The method includes generating, based on the position of the first body portion, pose information for the first body portion relative to the fixed spatial point.
