Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for vector-quantized image modeling using vision transformers and improved codebook handling. In particular, the present disclosure provides a Vector-quantized Image Modeling (VIM) approach that involves pretraining a machine learning model (e.g., Transformer model) to predict rasterized image tokens autoregressively. The discrete image tokens can be encoded from a learned Vision-Transformer-based VQGAN (example implementations of which can be referred to as ViT-VQGAN). The present disclosure proposes multiple improvements over vanilla VQGAN from architecture to codebook learning, yielding better efficiency and reconstruction fidelity. The improved ViT-VQGAN further improves vector-quantized image modeling tasks, including unconditional image generation, conditioned image generation (e.g., class-conditioned image generation), and unsupervised representation learning.

Abstract: Aspects relate to dynamically changing the slot format of a slot between half-duplex and sub-band full-duplex and/or to changing flexible symbols within a flexible slot between half-duplex and sub-band full-duplex when a base station is configured to operate in a sub-band full-duplex mode. A slot format indicator (SFI) indicating the slot format of the slot may be signaled, for example, via downlink control information (DCI) mapped to a downlink control channel or medium access control (MAC) control element (MAC-CE) mapped to a downlink data channel. To improve reliability, various SFI boosting mechanisms may further be employed. For example, the base station may apply a higher aggregation level to the SFI, transmit repetitions of the SFI across multiple beams, apply a CRC enhancement and/or MCS enhancement to the downlink control channel carrying the SFI, and/or apply a power boost to the SFI.
