Abstract: Various embodiments describe methods, systems, and devices for delivering secondary video content are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may perform, at a processor of a computing device, an active video semantic analysis on a segment of a first video content presented on a viewing device. The active video semantic analysis may identify an active video first visible element visible within the segment. Also, a secondary video content, that is not directly related to the first video content, may be matched based on a prior semantic analysis on the secondary video content that identified a secondary-video first visible element therein that is associated with the active video first visible element from the segment. In addition, the secondary video content may be presented on the viewing device immediately after the segment.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and a device in a first node for wireless communication. The first node first performs a monitoring on first-type signalings, in which K1 first-type signalings are detected; and then transmits a first radio signal in a first time-frequency resource set; each of the K1 first-type signalings is associated to the first time-frequency resource set; a first signaling is a last first-type signaling of the K1 first-type signaling; the first radio signal is used for determining the receiving of first-type signaling(s) associated to the first time-frequency resource set before the first signaling; or is used for determining the decoding of bit blocks scheduled by the K1 first-type signalings. With the above-mentioned designs, the present disclosure manages to address missed detection of sidelink scheduling signaling caused when a data receiver sends NACK-only feedback in V2X, thereby further improving the entire system performance.

Abstract: Dynamic uniform resource locator (URL) transmission may be provided for allowing a user to view a non-linear video content item along with additional content in order to provide a richer and deeper viewing experience giving more control to the user during video viewing. An indication may be provided to the user indicating the availability of additional interactive content associated with the non-linear video in a variety of different ways. Upon user request, the content associated with the URL may be updated or historic content presented to the user in order to present the non-linear video content combined with the additional content in a hybrid fashion. The transmitted URL may be static, or the URL may be dynamically updated based on one or more factors, such as time of day or action by the user or content provider.

Abstract: Wireless communications are described. A wireless device may be configured to transmit a first signal via a first cell that may overlap in time with a second signal via a second cell. The wireless device may adjust a signal transmission power of at least one of the first signal or the second signal. Additionally or alternatively, the wireless device may drop at least one of the first signal or the second signal. Adjusting and/or dropping at least one of the first signal or the second signal may be based on the overlap in time of these signals satisfying a duration threshold and a total power to transmit the first signal and the second signal exceeding a power threshold.

Abstract: Provided is a content delivery method and architecture for ways to improve the caching of content at one or more content providing devices of a Content Delivery Network (CDN). In particular, systems and methods are disclosed that vary the requirements to store resources or content within a caching device using a dynamic popularity threshold. This popularity threshold may be varied based on a measured fullness of the storage capacity of the cache device. In another example, the dynamic popularity threshold may be further varied based on a cache pressure, which is an indication of how often the cache replaces stored items with new items. The adjustment to the popularity threshold for caching particular content at the caching device may thus be based on a number of requests for content received at the device to tune the caching procedure for a particular region of the CDN.

The data transmission method includes: determining whether a terminal is in an idle mode and/or an inactive mode; when the terminal is in the idle mode and/or the inactive mode, sending a wake-up signaling to the terminal.

Abstract: A gateway communication resource provides access to a remote network over a communication link. For example, a communication management resource (such as in a subscriber domain) receives log information associated with the gateway communication resource. The log information indicates an operational status of the gateway communication resource. The communication management resource also receives performance threshold information in which to analyze performance of the communication resource. Via application of the performance threshold information to the log information, the communication management resource generates a performance report indicative of a performance status of the gateway communication resource communicating over the communication link.

Abstract: Nyquist folding receivers (NYFRs) are disclosed that use three or more non-modulated sampling clock signals with different frequencies to produce multiple projections in a sampled output. Using these three or more different sampling clock signals, multiple Nyquist zones are aliased together while still allowing signals from different Nyquist zones to be separated and identified in later processing based upon the sampling provided by the different sampling clock signals. NYFR sampling receivers are also disclosed that simultaneously produce multiple separate and different parallel channels from an input signal, with each different channel having a different sampling clock sampling rate from the other channels so as to generate a respective folding pattern that is different from the folding pattern generated by the respective RF sampling rate of each of the other simultaneous and parallel channels.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method and a device in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station for wireless communication. The UE receives a first signaling, receives a first radio signal in a first time window, and then transmits a feedback on the first radio signal in a second time window. The first signaling is used for determining time-domain resources occupied by the first radio signal; a first time-domain deviation is a deviation in time domain between the second time window and the first time window; when the first signaling carries a first identifier, the first time-domain deviation is one of K1 first-type candidate deviation(s), and K1 is a positive integer; when the first signaling carries a second identifier, the first time-domain deviation is one of K2 second-type candidate deviation(s), and K2 is a positive integer.

Abstract: A wireless device comprises a transmitter chain receiving a transmit signal from a UE. The transmitter chain amplifies the transmit signal to produce an amplified transmit signal that is transmitted to a BS. A receiver chain receives a receive signal from the BS. The receiver chain amplifies the receive signal to produce an amplified receive signal which is transmitted to the UE. A second receiver chain receives a second receive signal from the BS. The second receiver chain amplifies the second receive signal to produce a second amplified receive signal that is transmitted to the UE. The gain of the transmitter chain, the receive gain and the second receive chain are balanced. The transmitter chain, the receiver chain, and the second receiver chain each comprise a transmit variable attenuator, with gains set by a controller.

Abstract: A wireless communication network serves a wireless User Equipment (UE) with a wireless data service over wireless repeaters. A serving access node wirelessly receives UE signaling that indicates signal strengths for the wireless repeaters. The serving access node determines amounts of the wireless repeaters between the wireless UE and individual target access nodes. The serving access node selects a primary access node from the target access nodes based on the signal strengths and the wireless repeater amounts. The serving access node responsively transfers network signaling to the primary access node. The primary access node receives the network signaling and responsively serves the wireless UE with the wireless data service. The primary access node transfers additional network signaling to a secondary access node. The secondary access node receives the additional network signaling and responsively serves the wireless UE with the wireless data service.
