  • Patent number: 12160799
    Abstract: A wireless device may receive, based on an RNTI associated with a multicast and broadcast services (MBS) session, a group common downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a transport block (TB) of the MBS session. Based on the RNTI being associated with the MBS session, the wireless device may determine a scrambling identity for a TB of the MBS session. The wireless device may receive the TB scrambled with a scrambling sequence initialized based on a value of the scrambling identity and a value of the RNTI.

  • Patent number: 12158519
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to self-reflection filtering techniques within radar data. A computing device may use radar data to determine a first radar representation that conveys information about surfaces in a vehicle's environment. The computing device may use a predefined model to generate a second radar representation that assigns predicted self-reflection values to respective locations of the environment based on the information about the surfaces conveyed by the first radar representation. The predefined model can enable a predefined self-reflection value to be assigned to a first location based on information about a surface positioned at a second location and a relationship between the first location and the second location. The computing device may then modify the first radar representation based on the predicted self-reflection values in the second radar representation and provide instructions to a control system of the vehicle based on modifying the first radar representation.

  • Patent number: 12158868
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for improved per-frequency counting systems that record interactions between individuals and a group of providers while maintaining differential privacy. A protocol may be defined that specifies frequency bins to categorize identifiers corresponding to individuals. A provider may generate a plurality of private sketches, each corresponding to a plurality of frequencies defined in the protocol. Frequency data is determined for each identifier. Identifiers are encoded into the private sketches corresponding to the identifiers' associated frequency. The plurality of private sketches from each provider in the group of providers are combined to generate a deduplicated distribution across the group. In one implementation, the private sketches of each provider are sequentially merged until all sketches have been combined, from which the total distribution can be estimated.

  • Patent number: 12158805
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed technology include techniques and mechanisms for correcting uncorrectable memory errors in DIMMs using erasure code. An uncorrectable error may be detected as a result of a read transaction on a memory address within a DRAM device on a DIMM. The data stored in the memory address may be inverted to produce reference data and the reference data may be written back to the memory address. A subsequent read transaction may be executed on the memory address, and the data read from the memory address may be compared to the reference data written to the memory address. Based on determining the data read from the memory address is different from the reference data written to the memory address, the data within the memory address may be corrected using erasure code capability and the corrected data may be written back to the memory address.
