Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The UE may be configurable to operate as an initiating UE for a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) application that includes PCS communication between the initiating UE and a receiving UE. The initiating UE may receive, from a base station, control signaling that indicates a default PCS radio access technology (RAT) for the V2X service. The default PCS RAT may be either a Long Term Evolution (LTE) PCS RAT or a New Radio (NR) PCS RAT. Based on the default PCS RAT and/or PCS RATs supported by the initiating UE, the initiating UE may select either the LTE PCS RAT or the NR PCS RAT. The selected PCS RAT may be proposed, in a negotiation with the receiving UE, for the V2X service.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to providing system information for cell access to link budget limited devices. According to some embodiments, a base station may transmit an announcement information block (MB) in a downlink shared data channel (e.g., PDSCH), wherein the AIB contains information useable by a UE in determining the location of system information in the downlink shared data channel. The UE can thus determine the location of and decode system information without having to decode a downlink control channel (e.g., PDCCH). This may be important for certain classes of devices, such as link budget limited devices, which have issues in decoding the downlink control channel. Improved paging scheduling techniques are also disclosed which more efficiently use PDCCH paging resources.

Abstract: To extend a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) in wireless communications, an extended physical broadcast channel (EPBCH) transmission is generated with one or more legacy PBCH blocks and one or more EPBCH blocks within an extension window. A size of the extension window is determined based at least in part on a PBCH repetition number and a number of the legacy PBCH blocks relative to a number of the EPBCH blocks. The EPBCH transmission is transmitted by a base station (BS) to one or more user equipment (UE).

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to cache footprint management. In some embodiments, execution circuitry is configured to perform operations for instructions from multiple threads in parallel. Cache circuitry may store information operated on by threads executed by the execution circuitry. Scheduling circuitry may arbitrate among threads to schedule threads for execution by the execution circuitry. Tracking circuitry may determine one or more performance metrics for the cache circuitry. Control circuitry may, based on the one or more performance metrics meeting a threshold, reduce a limit on a number of threads considered for arbitration by the scheduling circuitry, to control a footprint of information stored by the cache circuitry. Disclosed techniques may advantageously reduce or avoid cache thrashing for certain processor workloads.

Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface, a display, and one or more tactile output generators displays, on the display, a respective user interface element within a user interface region. The device detects a gesture on the touch-sensitive surface for moving the respective user interface element by a respective amount. In response, in accordance with a determination that moving the respective user interface element by the respective amount would cause the respective user interface element to move beyond a predefined limit, the device generates a respective tactile output via the tactile output generators and moves the respective user interface element by the respective amount and beyond the predefined limit. In response to detecting liftoff of a contact used to perform the gesture, the device at least partially reverses the movement of the respective user interface element, such that the respective user interface element is moved to the predefined limit.

Abstract: Novel machine learning (ML) models are introduced for image reconstruction training and inference workflows, which are able to estimate intrinsic components of single view images, including albedo, normal, and lighting components. According to some embodiments, such models may be trained on a mix of real and synthetic image datasets. For training on real datasets, both reconstruction and cross-relighting consistency terms may be imposed. The use of a cross-relighting consistency term allows for the use of multiple images of the same scene—although lit under different lighting conditions—to be used during training. At inference time, the model is able to operate on single or multiple images. According to other embodiments, adversarial training (e.g., in the form of a generative adversarial network (GAN)) may optionally be incorporated into the training workflow, e.g., in order to better refine the re-rendered images from the individual lighting and geometric components estimated by the model.
