Based on switching from the first BWP to the second BWP, as the active BWP, the base station determines a second contention window for the LBT procedure of a second channel of the second BWP. The second coantention window being the minimum contention window of a plurality of contention windows. Finally, the base station receives, via the second BWP, a transport block based on the second LBT procedure using the second contention window indicating a clear channel.

Abstract: A base station receives, from a wireless device, a wireless device capability message comprising at least one parameter indicating a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) processing capability of the wireless device. The base station determines, based on the first PUSCH processing capability of the wireless device, a PUSCH preparation time indicating a period between a reception time of a downlink control information (DCI) comprising a resource assignment and a PUSCH transmission time of the resource assignment. The base station transmits, to the wireless device, a first DCI indicating a first resource assignment for a first PUSCH transmission, wherein the first resource assignment occurs no earlier than the PUSCH preparation time from when the first DCI is received by the wireless device. And, the base station receives the first PUSCH transmission via the first resource assignment.

Abstract: Cellular connections can be used to provision non-cellular devices such as internet-of-things (IOT) devices. For example, IoT devices can comprise Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular capabilities. However, the cellular capability can be used to provision the IoT devices using non-internet protocol data delivery to prevent security vulnerabilities. Data can be transmitted to the IoT device using core elements without using an IP stack. Thus, IoT device configurations and the keys can be provisioned over-the-air without the use of internet protocol data.

Abstract: SCGB-based preparations and methods to use these preparations to protect the glycocalyx in medical, veterinary, and cosmetic applications are provided. The secretoglobins (SCGBs) are a family of small secreted globular proteins present in all mammals and sharing conserved structure and thought to share similar immunomodulatory functions. Heparan sulfate proteoglycan proteins (HSPGs) are expressed on the outer membranes of cells and have carbohydrate side chains that, together, make up the glycocalyx. The glycocalyx is a protective layer surrounding all cells, acting as a filter regulating the passage of nutrients into the cell and modifying cell signaling by external factors. There are two major families of HSPGs including syndecans and glypicans, plus several other HSPGs in all mammals. SCGBs bind to, and interact with, HSPGs to further modulate cell signaling and cellular responses to external factors.

Abstract: Robotic, autonomous mowers are programmed and configured to avoid collisions with each other. Each mower may include a transceiver allowing direct machine-to-machine digital communication with other mowers over a wireless data channel. Each mower may periodically transmit a digital data packet that may include navigational information and/or a priority code such as a machine serial number. Detection of such a data packet may be used to alert a mower to the presence of another mower nearby. The navigational information may include a stored mow path map or mow path timetable showing the mower's current location and the path the mower is programmed to follow in the coming seconds or minutes. Comparison of a mower's own mow path map with that received from the other mower may be used to declare a hazard condition. Comparison of the priority codes may be used to determine which mower is to take evasive action.
