The CSI-ReportConfig configuring a port selection codebook comprising a port selection matrix W1, a combinational coefficient matrix W2, and a frequency basis selection matrix Wf. Based on the CSI-ReportConfig, the determines, for the port selection matrix W1, up to L CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) ports out of P CSI-RS ports configured for measuring and reporting CSI. For the frequency basis selection matrix Wf, the UE determines up to Mv frequency basis out of N frequency basis. For the combinational coefficient matrix W2, the UE determines up to L*Mv entries per layer. The UE reports one or more of the port selection matrix W1, the combinational coefficient matrix W2, and the frequency basis selection matrix Wf to the base station.

Abstract: An electronic device such as a wearable electronic device may have a coil. The device may have a finger-ring housing that surrounds a finger-shaped opening to allow the device to be worn on a finger of a user. The coil may be formed from metal traces on a printed circuit that wrap around the finger-shaped opening. Near-field communications circuitry in the device may be used to gather near-field communications tag information. The tag information may be gathered in response to user input. Wireless communications circuitry that uses a non-near-field communications antenna may wirelessly transmit the tag information and/or other information such as user input to a companion device.

Abstract: A method for encoding text includes grouping text as a sequence of bytes, the text comprising a string of characters, each byte corresponding to a character in the text. For each byte of the sequence of bytes: (a) each bit is processed from most significant bit to least significant bit to generate a context; and (b) a subsequent bit is predicted, using a prediction model, based on the context generated based on previously processed bits, prediction of the prediction model being a combination of predictions of a plurality of sub-models. An encoded bitstream is output based on the predicted bits. The encoded bitstream includes encoded data corresponding to the text.

Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for displaying and interacting with a representation of a user interface of an electronic device in a three-dimensional environment. While presenting a first user interface, a first electronic device presents a representation of a second user interface of a second electronic device based on display data representing the second user interface. In response to detecting a respective event corresponding to user input, if a gaze of a user of the first electronic device is directed to the representation of the second user interface, the first electronic device causes the second electronic device to perform a first operation directed to the second user interface based on the respective event. Alternatively, if the gaze is directed to the first user interface, the first electronic device performs a second operation directed to the first user interface based on the respective event.

Abstract: A computer system detects a gaze input directed to a region in an environment and, while detecting the gaze input, detects a touch input. In response, the computer system displays a focus indicator at a location corresponding to the region. The computer system detects a continuation of the touch input that includes movement of the touch input along an input surface while being maintained on the input surface. In response, the computer system moves the focus indicator in accordance with the movement of the touch input: within a user interface of an application, if the movement corresponds to a request to move the focus indicator within the user interface; and within the user interface without moving the focus indicator outside of the boundary of the user interface, if the movement corresponds to a request to move the focus indicator outside of a boundary of the user interface.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a software-based privacy indicator for a camera and microphone that focuses not purely on hardware status (e.g., on or off), but on whether potentially private data is flowing to the system or an application. If based purely on hardware status, the indicator for an electronic device may be shown in scenarios where no data actually flows to the system or applications. The privacy indicator will be enabled if any camera or microphone data is relayed to the operating system or an application that is executed via the operating system. When the device uses the microphone and camera to capture environmental metadata about the surroundings of the device without providing any audio samples, images, or video frames to the system or an application, the privacy indicator will not be enabled.
