  • Publication number: 20200053601
    Abstract: This document describes methods and devices for a handover of a user equipment (110) from source base station (a Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) base station (121)) to a target base station (another 5G NR base station (123) or an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network base station (122)). The source base station (121), which is in communication with the user equipment (110), determines to handover the user equipment (110) to the target base station (123,122). The source base station (121), then determines whether to use a delta configuration or a full configuration for handing over the user equipment (110). For the full configuration, the source base station (121) either excludes the delta configuration from, or indicates use of the full configuration in, handover preparation information. By so doing, the source base station (121) enables handover of the user equipment (110) to the target base station (123,122).

  • Publication number: 20200050659
    Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering cross-site auto-play media are described herein. The server can receive, from a client device, a request for media content at a first domain embedded in a content element from a second domain. The request can include an identifier indicating that the client device is configured to restrict cross-domain redirection. The server can determine, responsive to identifying the identifier indicating that the client device is configured to restrict cross-domain redirection, that the request comprises a content type header having a first predetermined value. The server can generate, responsive to the determination, a response comprising the media content element in a body of the response. The server can transmit the response to the client device. Receipt of the response can cause the client device to extract the media content element from the body of the response and to render the media content element.

  • Patent number: 10558426
    Abstract: Managing rendering of a graphical user interface is provided. A system receives data packets comprising an input audio signal. The system determines an application identifier and query. The system provides the query to the application to cause the application to generate a second query for transmission to a third-party server, and identify responses to the query. The system intercepts the responses, and generates a keyword based on the responses. The system selects a digital component using the keyword, executes a deduplication process, and determines to add the digital component to the responses. The system constructs a display output using a graphical user interface template that integrates the plurality of responses generated by the application with the digital component, and provides the display output to the computing device for rendering.
