Abstract: A mesh network management resource receives connectivity status information indicating wireless connectivity amongst multiple wirelessly interconnected access points in a mesh network and multiple clients. Based on the received connectivity status information, the mesh network management resource allocates portions of wireless bandwidth in the mesh network to wirelessly communicate between a root access point in the mesh network and each of the multiple interconnected access points. The root access point transmits messages over the allocated portions of wireless bandwidth from the root access point through the multiple interconnected access points to the multiple clients. According to one configuration, the mesh network management resource allocates use of wireless bandwidth amongst the wirelessly interconnected access points in the mesh network based at least in part on class of service information assigned to different subscribers in the mesh network environment.

Abstract: A wave energy converter comprises a power generator, characterized by an axial length along a longitudinal axis; the power generator being configured to tilt about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The tilt results in a conversion of kinetic energy, present in a group of water waves causing the tilt, to electrical energy. The axial length is less than approximately one quarter of the average wavelength expected to be encountered in a dominant sub-group of waves within the group of waves. The power generator generates power independent of whether or not the wave energy converter is tethered to any solid object at a position that is fixed independent of water motion.

Abstract: A geographical area of a mobile network is directed to perform an OTA test content drop of a predefined time, data, size, and duration. Statistical data is identified with respect to vehicle density in the geographical area, the statistical data being computed from reception reports received from vehicles responsive to the OTA test content drop. Responsive to at least a predefined minimum target of vehicles being located in the geographical area, and based on the statistical data, one or more time slots for an OTA delivery in the geographic area suitable for broadcast delivery are determined. The OTA update is delivered over broadcast instead of unicast during the one or more time slots.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for flexible carrier uplink and downlink pairing for 4G, 5G and future networks. Downlink and uplink channels can be assigned to different bands that are not contiguous or bands that have different bandwidths. This enables base station devices to have the flexibility to assign uplink and downlink communications to bands that have lower load and thus improve the efficiency and throughput of the communication link for both uplink and downlink. The base station device can also assign uplink and downlink pairing in order to minimize passive intermodulation interference. Passive intermodulation interference from a transmission can cause interference in bands near the transmission band, and so the base station device can assign downlink and uplink bands that are separate from each other in order to reduce the passive intermodulation interference.

Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for a computing system that allows users to control the disclosure of their identities during communication sessions. Users can control the disclosure of their identities with respect to certain types of shared content. In one mode of operation, a user can share content anonymously. In another mode of operation, identity may be revealed when certain conditions are met or revealed to only certain other users. For example, the identity of a user who shared a comment anonymously may be revealed if multiple other users agree with that comment. In another mode of operation, the user's identity is revealed to all other users such as in a live video stream. The computing system can control display of users' identities based on user instructions or based on triggering conditions. A user interface (UI) can show content items that identify a user together with content items that are shared anonymously.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for modulating wireless signals in 5G (and future 6G) networks, to mitigate faults from noise or interference, optimize reliability, and enhance message throughput, according to some embodiments. Versions may include modulation tables for phase and amplitude modulation of message symbols in which the number of amplitude levels is different from the number of phase levels. Alternatively, the number of amplitude levels and/or phase levels may be other than a power of two. Other versions may provide a non-uniform spacing of amplitude levels or phase levels for optimal SNR throughout. Specific modulation states of the modulation table may be excluded, or declared invalid for signaling, thereby increasing the noise immunity of the remaining valid states. Embodiments of the disclosed modulation tables can provide improved signal clarity, fewer dropped messages, fewer retransmit requests, higher throughput, faster uploads and downloads, and more satisfied wireless customers overall.

Abstract: A session management function (SMF) receives a message from a network exposure function (NEF). The message comprises downlink data and a release assistance indicator (RAI). The RAI indicates that transmission of uplink data by a wireless device is expected subsequent to transmission of the downlink data. The RAI indicates a release of a connection associated with the wireless device after the transmission of uplink data. The SMF receives an indication that the uplink data is transmitted. The SMF upon receiving the indication, sends a release message to an access and mobility management function (AMF). The release message indicates release of a non-access stratum message associated with the wireless device. The release message comprises the release assistance indicator.
