    Abstract: A system, a method, and an apparatus are disclosed. In an embodiment, a system includes a host processor with a communications unit, a memory coupled to the communications unit, and a coprocessor coupled to the communications unit. The memory may include at least a first area and a second area. The coprocessor may be configured to request access to the first area of the memory via the communications unit. The communications unit may be configured to verify an identity of the coprocessor, and grant access to the first area of the memory responsive to a positive identification of the coprocessor.

    Abstract: A method performed by an SMCE is provided. The method includes receiving, from at least one of a TX UE or an RX UE, semantic data corresponding to a semantic communications session between the TX UE and the RX UE. The SMCE is communicatively coupled to the TX UE and the RX UE. The method includes determining, based at least on the received data, a semantic distortion corresponding to the semantic communications session. The method includes synchronizing, with at least one of the TX UE or the RX UE, semantic data corresponding to the semantic communications session. A method performed by a UE is also provided.

    Abstract: A method for channel aware semantic coding (CASC) by a user equipment (UE), comprising: determining a quality level for a channel for a time period in which a video frame is being transmitted over the channel; determine, based on the quality level, one or more semantic elements to include in a semantic transcript stream (STS); encode the video frame with the one or more elements of the STS; and transmit the STS to a remote device.

    Abstract: A wireless communication device (UE) may provide information pertaining to one or more operating capabilities of the UE to LTE and 5G-NR networks. The UE may transmit information to an LTE base station directly, and to a 5G-NR base station directly, or indirectly via the LTE base station. The information may include preferred values corresponding to any number of different operating parameters associated with wireless communications or wireless communication capabilities of the UE in both LTE and 5G-NR networks, informing and/or requesting the LTE and 5G-NR networks to make provisions based on the transmitted information for the wireless communications of the UE on those networks. The UE may thereby provide assistance information to LTE and 5G-NR networks in a multi-radio-access-technology dual-connectivity setting to request the respective networks to adjust certain operating capabilities of the UE in order to alleviate one or more operating issues that may be affecting the UE.

    Abstract: A primary device may run a software application requiring a compute task. The primary device may receive statistics from a set of secondary devices over wireless communication links. The statistics may include parameters associated with the compute and communication capabilities of the secondary devices. The primary device may predict, based on the statistics, an expected performance gain in distributing the compute task to the secondary devices relative to performing the compute task locally. If the expected performance gain is high enough, the primary device may distribute shares of the compute task to the secondary devices over the wireless communication links. If the expected performance gain is low enough, the primary device may perform the compute task locally. If the expected performance gain is moderate, the primary device may update the set of secondary devices and/or may update a coding and distribution scheme for the compute task.

    Abstract: Embodiments relate to including information in a data packet transmitted by a transmitting integrated circuit (e.g., SOC) to account for a time delay associated with an unsuccessful arbitration attempt to send the data packet over a multi-drop bus. The unsuccessful arbitration attempt by the integrated circuit may delay the transmission of the data packet until the multi-drop bus becomes available for the integrated circuit to send the data packet. The data packet includes a data field to include time delay information caused by the unsuccessful arbitration attempt. A receiving integrated circuit may determine the time that the data packet would have been sent out from the transmitting integrated circuit absent the unsuccessful arbitration attempt based on the delay information. Embodiments also relate to a synchronization generator circuit in an integrated circuit that generates timing signals indicating times at which periodic events occur at another integrated circuit.
