Abstract: Systems and methods for determining channel raster(s) and synchronization signal raster(s) for New Radio (NR) unlicensed spectrum are disclosed herein. For each of a plurality of data objects an NR channel raster position is determined using Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (NR-ARFCN) numbers. For each corresponding NR channel. Global Synchronization Channel Numbers (GSCNs), a number of Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) based on channel subcarrier spacing (SCS). NR channel raster position placement, channel edges, synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel (SSB) edges, and an SSB raster position are calculated. The plurality of data objects may then be down selected based on e.g., corresponding Long Term Evolution (LTE) channel raster positions and/or entries of a second plurality of data objects calculated for NR channels that use a second SCS.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) user plane (UP) integrity protection (IP) for a user equipments (UE) and radio access network (RAN) nodes operating in Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access-New Radio dual connectivity (EN-DC). In an attach procedure, a UE may indicate a UE security capability for support of relay node (RN) PDCP UP IP used in LTE. Based on the LIE security capability, a master e Node B (MeNB) security capability, and a secondary g Node B (SgNB) security capability, the MeNB may determine whether to use UP IP between the UE and the MeNB, the UE and the SgNB, and/or in a split bearer between the MeNB and the SgNB.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) reports radio access capabilities to a network. The UE receives a request from a network for radio access capabilities of the UE, determining one or more radio access capabilities related to physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) blind decoding by the UE, generates a message that includes the one or more radio access capabilities of the UE and transmits the message to the network.

Abstract: Encoding an extended-reality (XR) video frame may include obtaining an XR video frame comprising a background image and a virtual object; obtaining, from an image renderer, a first region of the background image over which the virtual object is overlaid; dividing the XR video frame into a virtual region and a real region, wherein the virtual region comprises the first region of the background image and the virtual object and the real region comprises a second region of the background image; determining, for the virtual region, a corresponding first quantization parameter based on an initial quantization parameter associated with virtual regions; determining, for the real region, a corresponding second quantization parameter based on an initial quantization parameter associated with real regions; and encoding the virtual region based on the corresponding first quantization parameter and the real region based on the corresponding second quantization parameter.
Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure enable a user equipment (UE) to performing inter-Radio Access Technology (RAT) measurements. The UE determines whether one or more inter-RAT measurement object (MO) is configured with or without a measurement gap (MG). When the one or more inter-RAT MO is on an NR serving component carrier (CC) with the MG, the UE performs an inter-RAT measurement on the NR serving CC based on whether the MG is fully overlapped or partially overlapped with synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) of a target MO of the one or more inter-RAT MO. When the one or more inter-RAT MO is on the NR serving CC without the MG, the UE performs the inter-RAT measurement on the NR serving CC based on whether a target SSB of the target MO is within or outside an active bandwidth part (BWP) of the NR serving CC.

Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that obtain sensor data from one or more sensors in a physical environment, and a context is determined based on the sensor data, where the context includes a location of the physical environment and an occurrence of an activity in the physical environment. Camera parameters are selected based on historical parameter data identified based on the context, where the historical parameter data is identified based on camera parameters previously used in the location during prior occurrences of the activity. Then, a camera is configured to capture an image using the selected camera parameters in the location during the occurrence of the activity. In some implementations, the adjusted camera parameters are selected based on context and shared information from a different electronic device regarding camera parameters that were used in the same physical location and during the same activity.

Abstract: A wireless device is configured to select a beam and/or an antenna based on detection a detected position and/or orientation of the device relative to a remote device. The device obtains motion data indicating a change in position or orientation of the wireless device. The device determines its pose relative to the remote device. The device accesses a coverage map that associates, for each potential pose for the device with respect to the remote device: an antenna for communicating with the remote device and/or a beam for communicating with the remote device. The device selects a particular antenna and/or a particular beam for communicating with the remote device; and causes transmission or reception of data to or from the remote device by the particular antenna and/or the particular beam.

Abstract: A sensor stack is described. The sensor stack includes first and second electromagnetic radiation sensors. The first electromagnetic radiation sensor has a high quantum efficiency for converting a first range of electromagnetic radiation wavelengths into a first set of electrical signals. The second electromagnetic radiation sensor is positioned in a field of view of the first electromagnetic radiation sensor and has a high quantum efficiency for converting a second range of electromagnetic radiation wavelengths into a second set of electrical signals and a low quantum efficiency for converting the first range of electromagnetic radiation wavelengths into the second set of electrical signals. The first range of wavelengths does not overlap the second range of wavelengths, and the second electromagnetic radiation sensor is at least partially transmissive to the first range of electromagnetic radiation wavelengths.

Abstract: The subject disclosure provides systems and methods for providing locally trained models for detecting individual sounds using electronic devices. Local detection of individual sounds with a detection model at an electronic device can be provided by obtaining training samples for the detection model with the electronic device, and generating additional negative and positive training samples based on the obtained training samples. A two-stage detection process may be provided, in which a trigger model at a device compares an audio input to a reference sound to trigger a detection model at the device. The detection of individual sounds with a detection model at an electronic device can also leverage audio capture capabilities of multiple devices in an acoustic scene to capture multiple concurrent training samples.
