Abstract: Systems and methods for ultra reliable reporting of secondary cell group (SCG) measurements to a secondary node (SN) used in multi-radio dual connectivity (MR-DC) operation that specifically account for the possibility of SCG special cell (SpCell) degradation are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) may establish a signaling radio bearer (SRB) 3 with the SN. The UE may then identify that a handover condition (which may be associated with SCG SpCell degradation) for the SCG SpCell is met, and accordingly send an SCG measurement report over each of the SRB3 and an SRB1 between the UE and a master node (MN) used in the MR-DC operation. Such information received at the MN is forwarded to the SN. Accordingly, the reception of SCG measurement reports (to enable handover to a new SpCell by the SN) is not solely dependent messages on the SpCell of the SCG alone (using SRB3), improving reliability.

Abstract: Multi-chip modules and methods of fabrication are described. The MCM may include a plurality of dies in which die-to-die routing can be partitioned within multiple metal routing layers for shorter die-to-die routings, while longer die-to-die routing can be routed primarily in a single metal routing layer. The plurality of dies may also be arranged in a spaced apart relationship to accommodate additional wiring area, while preserving direct routing areas for the longer die-to-die routing.

Abstract: The subject technology provides for displaying applications on a display while avoiding the display's irregular or undesirable features. The disclosed techniques include determining whether a triggering condition related to an application executing on an electronic device is present, and if so, determining a user interface (UI) adjustment value. The UI adjustment value is applied to a frame that represents all of the content including a user interface of the application to be rendered on the display. The UI adjustment value represents an adjustment to the frame such that, when the adjusted frame is rendered, the user interface of the application is presented on the display except on a predefined portion (e.g., a portion including an irregular feature or region) of the display. The adjusted frame is then rendered to present the user interface of the application on the display except on the predefined portion of the display.

Abstract: During a communication session facilitated by a first communication service between a first device and a second device, a processor may receive a request to execute a feature not supported by the first communication service. The processor may also identify a second communication service that does support the feature. Further, the processor may then cause the communication session to transition from the first communication service to the second communication service.

In one aspect, a method includes generating a message that indicates a capability of a user equipment (UE) whether to support simultaneous reception of at least one signal associated with cross-link interference (CLI) measurement and at least one signal associated with a serving cell or a neighbor cell of the UE.

Abstract: Systems and methods for balancing multiple partitions of non-volatile memory devices are provided. Embodiments discussed herein execute a balance proportion scheme in connection with a NVM that is partitioned to have multiple partition types. Each partition type has an associated endurance that defines an average number of program/erase (P/E) cycles it can endure before it reaches failure. For example, a first partition type may have a substantially greater endurance than a second partition type. The balance proportion scheme ensures that, even though each partition type has a different associated endurance, all partition types are used proportionally with respect to each other to balance their respective P/E cycles. This way, both partition types will reach the upper limits of their respective endurance levels out at approximately the same time.

Abstract: Techniques, described herein, include solutions for anonymous geospatial evaluation via a wireless network. For example, a user equipment (UEs) may monitor a current location of UE for entry into a bounding box associated with a geographic area.

The anonymous presence indicator may include information describing an instance of a UE being located within the bounding box; however, the anonymous presence indicator may not include information indicating an identifier of UE and/or a user of UE. The UE may report another anonymous presence indicator upon expiration of a re-report timer and/or upon entry into another bounding box.
