    Abstract: A method includes calibrating, at a wireless device, a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) chipset-level timer based on a time synchronization function (TSF) frame received from a Wi-Fi access point. The method also includes performing, at the wireless device, a coarse synchronization of a microcontroller-level or CPU-level timer based on the calibrated Wi-Fi chipset-level timer. The method further includes performing, at the wireless device, a fine synchronization of the microcontroller-level or CPU-level timer after the coarse synchronization. The fine synchronization is performed according to a first time scale measured in first time units and the coarse synchronization is performed according to a second time scale measured in second time units that are a multiple of the first time units.

    Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring sleep quality includes a plurality of sensors, a plurality of actuator modules, a transceiver, and a processor operatively coupled with the plurality of sensor modules, the plurality of actuator modules, and the transceiver. The processor is configured to monitor a sleep session of a user utilizing the apparatus. To monitor the sleep session, the processor is further configured to monitor a sleep state of the user, monitor a sleep stage of the user, and monitor a sleep condition. The processor is further configured to select a sleep facilitating action, control the sleep facilitating action based on the monitoring, and collect data related to the sleep session, and update a sleep history database associated with the user based on the data related to the sleep session.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for precoding matrix indicator (PMI)-based data beam nulling with a channel state information (CSI) report. An apparatus includes a transceiver configured to communicate via a wired or wireless communication medium and a processor coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured to identify restricted PMI beams in a nulling direction for supported ranks; receive, via the transceiver from a user equipment (UE), a CSI report including a rank, a PMI, and channel quality indicator (CQI) feedback; and determine whether the reported PMI is restricted. The processor is further configured to select an alternative PMI among a number of unrestricted PMIs for the reported rank; boost a reported CQI if a reduced transmit power is configured; and select a modulation coding scheme (MCS) and generate a precoder for a data beam based on at least one of: the CSI report, the alternative PMI, and the boosted CQI.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for synchronization signal (SS) block index and timing indication in wireless communication systems. A method of operating a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a base station (BS), sets of higher-layer configuration information. When configured for mobility measurement on SS and physical broadcast channel (PBCH) (SS/PBCH) blocks, the UE identifies, based on one of the sets of higher-layer configuration information, a first set of SS/PBCH blocks configured for the mobility measurement; and measures and reports mobility measurement quantities for the first set of SS/PBCH blocks. When configured for receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), the UE identifies, based on another of the sets of higher-layer configuration information, a second set of SS/PBCH blocks configured for the UE; and receives the PDSCH with rate matching around a SS/PBCH block included in the second set of SS/PBCH blocks.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for neighbor discovery and wireless inter-connection in a wireless communication system. A method for operating a base station (BS) in the wireless communication network includes generating measurement information regarding neighboring BSs of the BS in the wireless communication network; determining a first parent BS of the neighboring BSs to connect to based on the measurement information; performing an initial access procedure with the first parent BS to connect to the first parent BS; identifying an end-to-end route for the BS for transfer of data between a user equipment (UE) and a gateway via the wireless communication network; and transferring the data between the gateway and the UE based on the identified end-to-end route.

    Abstract: A method includes identifying a zone blocked from line of sight (LOS) of a gNB; receiving a 3D spatial map of a first area including the zone and a second area that surrounds the zone and that is within both a coverage area and the LOS of the gNB; determining whether the second area includes a mountable surface to which a passive RF reflective metasurface is attachable; and determining whether the metasurface, if attached to the mountable surface, generates a reflection path to the zone, based on a determination that the second area includes the mountable surface and based on estimated propagation paths from the gNB to the zone. The method includes determining whether to add a metasurface to the second area based on: a determination result whether the reflection path from the metasurface attached to the mountable surface to the zone includes reflected signals satisfying a threshold bandwidth condition.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining range estimates and carrier phase estimates from each of multiple anchors. The method also includes, in response to determining that a trilateration technique is to be performed, (i) obtaining improved range estimates using the carrier phase estimates and (ii) determining a first location estimate of a target device using the trilateration technique and the improved range estimates. The method also includes, in response to determining that a triangulation technique is to be performed, (i) obtaining differential range estimates using the carrier phase estimates and (ii) determining a second location estimate of the target device using the triangulation technique and the differential range estimates. The method also includes combining the first location estimate and the second location estimate to determine an overall location estimate of the target device.
