Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for interference management with adaptive resource block (RB) allocation. In an exemplary method, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a base station (BS), an indication of a first set of resource blocks (RBs) to receive a first downlink (DL) transmission in a time interval, the UE receives, from the BS, an indication of a dynamically allocated second set of RBs to receive a second DL transmission from the BS in the time interval, and the UE alters one or more parameters of a receiver, based on the second set of RBs, when receiving the second DL transmission on the second set of RBs. Altering the one or more parameters may include switching a phase-locked loop (PLL) of the receiver to a center frequency determined based on the second set of RBs.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some implementations, a UE may determine that a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) restriction applies to UE transmissions, and the UE may transmit at a lower power to meet the restriction. The UE may be configured to account for lower power transmission when selecting between a two-step or a four-step random access channel (RACH) procedure. In some cases, the UE may identify a RACH procedure selection rule for selecting between the two-step RACH procedure and the four-step RACH procedure based on whether an exposure condition (e.g., MPE restriction) is identified. The selection rule may indicate one or more synchronization signal block based reference signal received power thresholds to be used by the UE to select between the two-step RACH procedure and four-step RACH procedure. The UE may perform the selected RACH procedure.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a novel way to insert a service (e.g., a third party service) in the path of a data message flow, between two machines (e.g., two VMs, two containers, etc.) in a public cloud environment. For a particular tenant of the public cloud, some embodiments create an overlay logical network with a logical overlay address space. To perform a service on data messages of a flow between two machines, the logical overlay network passes to the public cloud's underlay network the data messages with their destination address (e.g., destination IP addresses) defined in the logical overlay network. The underlay network (e.g., an underlay default downlink gateway) is configured to pass data messages with such destination addresses (e.g., with logical overlay destination addresses) to a set of one or more service machines. The underlay network (e.g.

Abstract: Technologies for an accelerator interface over Ethernet are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a network interface controller of a compute device may receive a data packet. If the network interface controller determines that the data packet should be pre-processed (e.g., decrypted) with a remote accelerator device, the network interface controller may encapsulate the data packet in an encapsulating network packet and send the encapsulating network packet to a remote accelerator device on a remote compute device. The remote accelerator device may pre-process the data packet (e.g., decrypt the data packet) and send it back to the network interface controller. The network interface controller may then send the pre-processed packet to a processor of the compute device.

Abstract: According to the present disclosure, behaviors of a Base Station (BS) and a User Equipment (UE) pertinent to Reference Signal (RS) transmissions are discussed. BS may configure RS corresponding to a set of antenna ports in two or more groups of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols on a short Physical Downlink Sharing CHannel (sPDSCH), where subcarrier indices used for RS transmission are different between at least two groups of OFDM symbols. Then, BS may transmit the RS to UE. UE will receive RS and perform channel estimation based on the received RS.

The UE may receive a random access message 4 transmitted by the base station using a second transmit beam that is a sub-beam of the first transmit beam based on transmitting the plurality of repetitions. The base station may select the second transmit beam based on at least one of the plurality of repetitions.

Abstract: A communications device transmits data in preconfigured resources of an uplink of a wireless communications network by performing a procedure to determine whether the communications device can transmit signals in the preconfigured resources of the uplink, and if the communications device determines that it can transmit signals in the preconfigured resources, transmitting signals representing the data in the preconfigured resources. The procedure to determine whether the communications device can transmit signals in the preconfigured resources of the uplink includes a transmission parameter confirmation procedure which confirms that a value of one or more transmission parameters to be used for transmitting the signals representing the data can be used for the signals representing the data to be detected by an infrastructure equipment of the wireless communications network.
