Abstract: A wireless device receives configuration parameters indicating that a default beam is used for uplink transmissions via physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resources. A downlink control information indicating a first uplink transmission via a first PUSCH resource of the PUSCH resources is received. In response to the configuration parameters indicating that the default beam is used, it is determined, for the first uplink transmission, a spatial relation information of the default beam based on a downlink reference signal. A transport block is transmitted via the first PUSCH resource and according to the spatial relation information.

Abstract: The disclosure describes systems and methods including a mobile device for remotely controlling the movement of a vehicle and trailer. The mobile device provides an intuitive interface for controlling the movement of the vehicle and trailer by changing the orientation of a vehicle graphic (e.g., of the vehicle and trailer) according to a position of the mobile device around a periphery of the vehicle and trailer. This allows the user to walk around the vehicle and trailer to determine a best position from which to control the vehicle and trailer depending on a given situation without losing the intuitiveness of the user interface.

One or more keywords are determined from the received waveform data based on the one or more extracted features. Speech recognition is activated based on detecting the determined keyword.

Abstract: This document describes methods, devices, systems, and means for dynamic carrier subband operation for active coordination sets. A master base station selects a first carrier subband associated with a first Active Coordination Set (ACS) for joint communication with a user equipment (UE), coordinates the joint communication for the UE with other base stations in the first ACS, and monitors the joint communication with the UE. Based on the monitoring of the joint communication, the master base station selects a second carrier subband that is associated with a second ACS for the joint communication with the UE and coordinates with base stations associated with the second ACS to jointly communicate with the UE using the second carrier subband.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method on a device. The device has hardware including storage. The method includes obtaining log event data from at least one component or service on the device that is to be delivered to a component or service on a distinct device.

Abstract: A system and method of reducing blocking artifacts and providing enhanced coding efficiency based, as least in part, upon evaluation of relative smoothness of signals at a coding boundary. In some embodiments, a boundary threshold difference can be established beyond which it is determined that the difference is representative of a natural or intended boundary and filtering can be applied to those boundaries having differences below the boundary threshold difference. In some further embodiments, the ramps of the signal across the boundary can be evaluated to determine whether weak or strong filtering might be appropriate. In some further embodiments, weak filtering can be performed that reduces blocking artifacts, improves coding efficiency, but does not distort ramp signals across the boundary.
