A first node, such as a gNodeB or an eNodeB, can perform operations that include receiving a resume request from a user equipment (UE) that is in an inactive state, the resume request including a small data indication, where context information for the UE resides at a second node; transmitting a retrieve UE context request to the second node, the retrieve UE context request including the small data indication; receiving a UE context response from the second node; transmitting, by the first node, a resume response to the UE to cause the UE to switch to a connected state; processing uplink data from the UE; and transmitting a release message to the UE to cause the UE to switch to the inactive state. The release message can be based on RRC release information received from the second node.

Abstract: A two dimensional touch sensor panel can be thermoformed or curved by another process to a three-dimensional touch sensor panel, and the three-dimensional touch sensor panel can be laminated to a three-dimension surface having a highly curved or spherical shape. In some examples, thermoforming a two-dimensional touch sensor panel into a three-dimensional touch sensor panel can result in strain of the touch electrodes, and can result in non-uniform three-dimensional touch electrodes (distortion of the two-dimensional touch electrode pattern). The strain can be a function of the curved touch-sensitive surface and/or process related mechanical strain from thermoforming. In some examples, a three-dimensional touch sensor panel can be formed with uniform area touch electrodes using a two-dimensional touch sensor panel pattern with non-uniform area touch electrodes in accordance with the strain pattern expected for a given curved surface and thermoforming technique.

Abstract: The embodiments set forth herein disclose techniques for enabling a user device to seamlessly establish a secure, high-bandwidth wireless connection with a vehicle accessory system to enable the user device to wirelessly stream user interface (UI) information to the vehicle accessory system.
