Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to compression of pixel data using different quantization for different regions of a block of pixels being compressed. In some embodiments, compression circuitry is configured to determine, for multiple components included in pixels of the block of pixels being compressed, respective smallest and greatest component values in respective regions of the block of pixels. The compression circuitry may determine, based on the determined smallest and greatest component values, to use a first number of bits to represent delta values relative to a base value for a first component in a first region and a second, different number of bits to represent delta values relative to a base value for a second component in the first region. The compression circuitry may then quantize delta values for the first and second components of pixels in the first region of the block of pixels using the determined first and second numbers of bits.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for frame-based initiator device operations. A wireless device may be operating within a frame-based equipment communications system, where a frame may include a channel occupancy time period and a minimum idle period. An initiating device may be configured to initiate autonomous uplink communications during the channel occupancy time period of its frame, while the device may not initiate communications during an idle period of its frame. In some cases, a frame-based equipment communications system may include more than one initiating device, where the idle periods for different initiating devices may occur at different times. In some cases, the initiating device may be configured to initiate communications during the idle period for another initiating device. This may allow the wireless system to decrease system overhead associated with a minimum idle period per frame.

The S-TDMA indication information comprises information indicating that the first and second data fields are assigned to a first RU. The first data field is transmitted from the first RU during a first symbol determined on the basis of the first symbol offset information. The second data field is transmitted from the first RU during a second symbol determined on the basis of the second symbol offset information.

Abstract: Managing prefix lists at edge devices can include detecting, at an edge device, a traffic flow that can include a packet that specifies a destination address. The edge device can measure a bandwidth associated with the traffic flow, identify a flow bandwidth threshold defined for the edge device, and determine if the bandwidth associated with the traffic flow satisfies the flow bandwidth threshold. If a determination is made that the bandwidth associated with the traffic flow satisfies the flow bandwidth threshold, the edge device can include the destination address in a prefix list stored at the edge device. If a determination is made that the bandwidth associated with the traffic flow does not satisfy the flow bandwidth threshold, the edge device can omit the destination address from the prefix list stored at the edge device.
