  • Publication number: 20240154674
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for allocating channel state information (CSI) processing unit (CPU) for user equipment (UE) initiated CSI. For example, the UE may receive an indication from a network entity (e.g., a base station or gNB) configuring the UE with a number of one or more CPUs allowed to be occupied for UE-initiated CSI feedback. The UE uses the at least one of the CPUs to calculate UE-initiated CSI feedback. The UE transmits at least one report including the UE-initiated CSI feedback if one or more conditions are met, such as when a mismatch between a CSI metric for a scheduled physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and a CSI metric calculated as part of the UE-initiated CSI feedback is equal to or exceeding a threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20240153149
    Abstract: A method performed by at least one processor of an encoder comprises: performing, on an input 3D mesh, a symmetry detection process to estimate a partition plane. The method further comprises partitioning the input 3D mesh into a first side and a second side based on the partition plane, where the first side is opposite to the second side, and where a first vertex on the first side is symmetric to a second vertex on the second side. The method further comprises quantizing the first vertex and the second vertex in pairs to reduce a quantization error and symmetry prediction error associated with the first vertex and the second vertex.
