Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform substantially concurrent communications with a next generation network node and a legacy network node. The wireless device may be configured to stablish a first wireless link with a first cell according to a RAT, where the first cell operates in a first system bandwidth and establish a second wireless link with a second cell according to a RAT, where the second cell operates in a second system bandwidth. Further, the wireless device may be configured to perform uplink activity for both the first RAT and the second RAT by TDM uplink data for the first RAT and uplink data for the second RAT if uplink activity is scheduled according to both the first RAT and the second RAT.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for use in a wireless network for resource allocation during initial access. Some embodiments are directed to an apparatus including processor circuitry and radio front circuitry. The processor circuitry can be configured to determine, in accordance with a predetermined requirement, multiple physical resource blocks (PRBs) to be used for transmitting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) before a dedicated PUCCH resource configuration. The radio front end circuitry coupled with the processor circuitry can be configured to transmit the PUCCH using the determined PRBs and before the dedicated PUCCH resource configuration. The dedicated PUCCH resource configuration can include initial access before Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection setup.

Abstract: Aspects are described for a user equipment (UE) comprising a transceiver configured to enable wireless communication with a base station and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured to determine one or more configured grant (CG) transport blocks (TBs) of one or more CG uplink transmissions and determine one or more dynamic grant (DG) TBs of one or more DG uplink transmissions. The processor is further configured to determine that a first CG TB of the one or more CG TBs overlaps with a first DG TB of the one or more DG TBs in time and determine that a priority level of the first CG TB is lower than a priority level of the DG TB. The processor is further configured to determine that the priority level of the first CG TB is lower than the priority level of the first DG TB and transmit, in the first DG TB, a first DG uplink transmission corresponding to the first DG TB.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus, and computer programs, for activating cross-slot scheduling in user equipment (UE) to achieve power savings. In one aspect, the method can include actions of generating, by an access node, an RRC communication including one or more parameters that, when processed by the UE, configures the UE to forego use of computing resources to buffer for potential PDSCH transmission for a predetermined amount of time, encoding, by the access node, the RRC communication for transmission to the UE, and causing, by the access node, one or more antennae to transmit the encoded RRC communication to the UE.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide for storing a temporary certificate on a mobile device for accessing services in association with a primary number. A device determines that a first subscriber identity module (SIM) card, previously used by the device, is not available for use by the device. The device determines that a second SIM card is available for use by the first device within a predetermined time period after the first SIM card is determined to be not available for use by the device. The device confirms that a communication identifier of the first SIM card is strongly tied to a user account associated with the device. The device stores a temporary certificate that attests to continued ownership of the communication identifier by the device and allows the device to access at least one service in association with the communication identifier.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a media content user interface. A media content provider includes storage for storing and serving video content to subscribers. The media content provider records and or otherwise stores video content from around the world. Subscribers are provided a user interface to the system that includes a side bar. The side bar includes multiple elements representing different categories of video content. By selecting a given category, available content is filtered according to the selected category and presented. Content which is presented may include live broadcast video for multiple channels on multiple television networks or other content providers. The side bar may further include a collection category specific to a given viewer. Selection of such a category may display video content within the collection. Subcategories in the side bar may be selected for further filtering of available content.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are presented to transmit fragmented communication frames, such as fragmented ultra-wideband (UWB) frames. In some implementations, a communication frame may be divided into a plurality of fragments, and the fragments may be transmitted across a plurality of regulatory test intervals. E.g., each fragment may be transmitted within a mutually-exclusive regulatory test interval. In some implementations, each fragment may be constrained in time and/or transmission power, such that the total energy emitted during transmission of the fragment remains within a maximum energy limit defined for the regulatory test interval, e.g., by a regulatory entity. In some implementations, the sum of the energy emitted during transmission of two or more fragments may exceed the maximum energy limit defined for the regulatory test interval.

Abstract: Embodiments presented herein relate to isolating a receiver circuit of an electronic device from a transmission signal and from a noise signal at a frequency range of a received signal. To do so, an isolation circuit is disposed between the receiver circuit and a transmission circuit. The isolation circuit may include multiple variable impedance devices and one or more antennas. The impedances of the variable impedance devices and the one or more antennas may be balanced such that the receiver circuit is effectively removed from the transceiver circuitry and isolated from the transmission signal. The impedance of the variable impedance devices and the one or more antennas may also be configured to isolate the receiver circuit from a noise signal generated at the transmission circuit having a frequency in the range of the receive signal.

Abstract: A connectible component is connected to a housing. A sensor of the housing is utilized to detect an identity element of the at connectible component. The connectible component is identified utilizing the at least one sensor. In some implementations, identification of the connectible component may identify whether or not a connectible component is connected to the housing. In other implementations, identification of the connectible component may identify the type of connectible component that is connected. In such implementations, the housing may house an electronic device and the electronic device may be configured based on the type of connectible component that is connected.

Abstract: Implementations disclosed herein provide systems and methods that determine relationships between objects based on an original semantic mesh of vertices and faces that represent the 3D geometry of a physical environment. Such an original semantic mesh may be generated and used to provide input to a machine learning model that estimates relationships between the objects in the physical environment. For example, the machine learning model may output a graph of nodes and edges indicating that a vase is on top of a table or that a particular instance of a vase, V1, is on top of a particular instance of a table, T1.
