Abstract: A network controller, a user equipment (UE) device, and associated methods for conducting intelligent enhanced multimedia broadcast multicast services (eMBMS). A network controller receives user preference information and location information from a plurality of UEs. The network controller selects one or more data packages to transmit using eMBMS in one or more broadcast regions based on the user preference information and the location information. The one or more data packages may comprise an updated machine learning model in a distributed learning application. The network controller provides an indication to a remote device to broadcast the one or more data packages in the respective one or more broadcast regions using eMBMS.

Abstract: Some embodiments include utilizing a multilink media access control (MAC) address structure to support multilink devices (MLDs) that can operate concurrently in more than one link such as extremely high throughput (EHT) access points (APs) and EHT stations (STA), where the multilink MAC address structure is compatible with legacy devices. An EHT AP can utilize a multilink basic service set (BSS) identification (BSSID) MAC address to communicate with an EHT STA identified by a multilink MAC address. Values of the multilink BSSID and the multilink MAC address of the EHT STA are independent of which of the multiple links are used in the communication. In addition, to utilizing a multilink BSSID, the EHT AP can also support unique link-specific MAC addresses to concurrently support legacy and MLD stations. The EHT STA can also utilize unique link-specific MAC addresses that can be different than the EHT AP's link-specific MAC addresses.

Abstract: The subject technology provides for generating a set of nodes representing a tree structure, each node comprising a feature index, a flag field indicating branch directions, an execution index storing locations related to the branch directions, and a feature value for comparing with the value stored in the input feature vector. The subject technology generates evaluation data, the evaluation data comprising a first array containing index values, and a second array containing evaluation values respectively corresponding to the index values, the evaluation data representing values of leaf nodes from the set of nodes. Further, the subject technology stores the set of nodes and the evaluation data as a contiguous block of data, where the set of nodes includes a first node and a second node, the second node corresponding to a likely execution path from the first node being physically stored adjacent to the first node.

Abstract: An electronic device may have a housing with a display. A protective display cover layer for the display may have an image transport layer such as an image transport layer formed from optical fibers. Extruded filaments of binder material may be fused together to form a layer of binder for the image transport layer. Each filament may contain multiple embedded optical fibers. As a result of the extrusion process, the optical fibers may be characterized by increasing lateral deformation at increasing distances from the center of the filament in which the optical fibers are embedded. Tension variations and variations in the orientation angle of the fibers in the image transport layer can be maintained below desired limits to ensure satisfactory optical performance for the image transport layer. The optical fibers and binder may be formed from polymers or other clear materials.

Abstract: An augmented reality headset may include a reflective holographic combiner to direct light from a light engine into a user's eye while also transmitting light from the environment. The combiner and engine may be arranged to project light fields with different fields of view and resolution to match the visual acuity of the eye. The combiner may be recorded with a series of point to point holograms; one projection point interacts with multiple holograms to project light onto multiple eye box points. The engine may include a laser diode array, a distribution waveguide, scanning mirrors, and layered waveguides that perform pupil expansion and that emit wide beams of light through foveal projection points and narrower beams of light through peripheral projection points. The light engine may include focusing elements to focus the beams such that, once reflected by the holographic combiner, the light is substantially collimated.

Abstract: Embodiments of dynamic multiplexing are described, including the transmission of preemption indication (PI) to indicate preemption of time-frequency resources. In some embodiments, a next Generation NodeB (gNB) is configured to transmit PIs in signaling to preempt an enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) communications transmission with an ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLCC) transmission.

In some embodiments, the BWP is defined according to a frequency domain location, a bandwidth, and a subcarrier spacing for a given numerology.

Abstract: An encoder is configured to compress point cloud geometry information using an octree geometric compression technique that utilizes slices corresponding in size to data transmission units. In some embodiments, a subsequent slice may be set to use a re-set entropy context or may be set to use an entropy context saved for a preceding slice. In some embodiments, an entropy context for the preceding slice may be for a slice other than the immediately preceding slice of the subsequent slice being evaluated, such that if the immediately preceding slice is lost in transmission (or if the immediately preceding slice and the subsequent slice are being evaluated in parallel) the subsequent slice's entropy context can still be determined without depending on the immediately preceding slice. A decoder is configured to reconstruct a point cloud based on a bit stream encoded by the encoder.
