Abstract: Various aspects include a method for preserving a msg3 transmission. The method may include receiving, by a UE device, from a base station, a CI that overlaps with the msg3 transmission. Responsive to receiving the CI, the msg3 transmission is not canceled. Another method disclosed herein includes continuing an RA procedure. The method may include encoding a first part of the msgB. The method may include encoding a second part of the msgB. The method may include attempting to decode, by the UE device, the first part of the msgB.

Abstract: A method for random access in a wireless communication network may include selecting a first configuration or a second configuration for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), selecting a preamble from a first preamble group corresponding to the first configuration or a second preamble group corresponding to the second configuration, transmitting the selected preamble from a user equipment (UE) through a physical random access channel (PRACH), and transmitting a payload from the UE through the PUSCH using the selected configuration, wherein the selected configuration and the selected preamble may be determined by the UE. The one or more preambles in the first and second preamble groups may be mapped to one or more sets of PUSCH resources in the first and second configurations, respectively, and the UE may transmit the payload using the set of PUSCH resources mapped to the selected preamble.

Abstract: An apparatus includes: a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) encoder configured to receive k information bits and generate p parity bits corresponding to the k information bits, k and p being positive integers; and an interleaver configured to output an interleaved bit sequence, in which the k information bits are interleaved with the p parity bits. The interleaved bit sequence includes a first subset of the k information bits appended with a first parity bit of the p parity bits and a second subset of the k information bits appended with a second parity bit of the p parity bits. The first subset of the k information bits is located earlier than the second subset of the k information bits in the interleaved bit sequence. The second subset of the k information bits and all of preceding information bits in the interleaved bit sequence including the first subset of the k information bits deterministically correlate the second parity bit of the p parity bits.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for dialect and language recognition for speech detection in vehicles. An example vehicle includes a microphone, a communication module, memory storing acoustic models for speech recognition, and a controller. The controller is to collect an audio signal that includes a voice command and identify a dialect of the voice command by applying the audio signal to a deep neural network. The controller also is to download, upon determining the dialect does not correspond with any of the acoustic models, a selected acoustic model for the dialect from a remote server via the communication module.
