Abstract: An electronic device that communicates with a second electronic device is described. During operation, an electronic device communicates first messages with the second electronic device in time slots corresponding to first channels in a first band of frequencies using a peer-to-peer communication protocol (such as neighbor awareness networking or NaN), where, in a given time slot, a given first channel in the first band of frequencies is used in the communication of the first messages. Moreover, the electronic device communicates second messages with the second electronic device in the time slots corresponding to second channels in a second band of frequencies using the peer-to-peer communication protocol, where, in the given time slot, a given second channel in the second band of frequencies is used in the communication of the second messages. Note that the communicating of the first messages and the second messages may at least partially overlap in time.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a housing that separates an exterior region from an interior region. The housing may have a front layer on a front face of the housing and a rear layer on an opposing rear face of the housing. Sidewall structures may extend between the front and rear layers.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods disclosed herein represent existing photo or video content within computer generated reality (CGR) environments. In some implementations, a representation of an existing photo or video is positioned within a CGR environment based on the position of the camera of the existing photo/video at the time the existing photo or video was captured. For example, a user experiencing CGR while walking along a hiking trail may see a floating representation of a photo that the user took on his or her last trip on that hiking trail. The representation may be positioned and oriented in the same position and orientation that the camera was positioned and oriented in when the photo was first captured, e.g., 5 feet above the ground, three feet north of the hiking trail welcome sign. The representation may be a version of the image itself or provide information about the image.

Abstract: An apparatus of a management service equipment includes processing circuitry. To configure the management service equipment for E2E performance measurements in a 5G network with a plurality of network functions (NFs), the processing circuitry is to decode RAN latency received from a RAN within the 5G network. The RAN latency is associated with transmission of an Internet protocol (IP) packet between a UE and a data network (DN) via the RAN. A user plane function (UPF) latency associated with communication of the IP packet between the RAN and a UPF within the 5G network is determined. A DN latency associated with communication of the IP packet between the UPF and the DN is determined. An E2E performance measurement calculation is performed to determine an E2E latency associated with communicating the IP packet between the UE and the DN based on the RAN latency, the UPF latency, and the DN latency.
