  • Patent number: 12277775
    Abstract: A vision system (10) for a motor vehicle includes an imaging apparatus (11) adapted to capture images from a surrounding of the motor vehicle, and a processing device (14) adapted to execute an object detection code (15) to detect objects in the surrounding of the motor vehicle by processing images captured by the imaging apparatus (11), and to calculate for each detected object its longitudinal distance relative to the ego vehicle. The vision system includes a gatekeeper code module (33) having a higher functional safety level than the object detection code (15). The gatekeeper code module (33) takes as input objects (32) detected by the object detection code (15) and evaluates if a depth or disparity image (35), in at least a part of an area covering the detected object (32), matches within given tolerances the longitudinal distance of the detected object (32) given by the object detection code (15).

  • Patent number: 12279240
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for cellular communications. In one aspect, a UE determines an FFP of a cell signal for the UE in a frame based equipment mode, determines one or more SSB positions in the cell signal based on the FFP, and performs radio management of the UE based at least in part on the one or more invalid SSB candidate positions. Performing radio management may include using one or more SSB positions in the FFP exclusive of the one or more invalid SSB candidate positions. Radio management may include PDSCH rate matching, radio link monitoring or measurement, or radio resource management. In some implementations, the one or more SSB positions are SSB positions after a first eight SSB positions in an FFP. In some other implementations, the one or more SSB positions are SSB positions that at least partially overlap an idle period between FFPs.

  • Patent number: 12279339
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a service-based network, groups of core network services may share a user equipment (UE) credential or network subscription. Signaling between a UE and a service-based network (e.g., via a distributed unit) enables the UE to establish a service context for communications with multiple core network services in a same service group. A UE may receive control signaling from the network indicating service groups offered by the service-based network. The control signaling may indicate the services included in each service group and how to access the service group. The UE may transmit an access request indicating a selected service group to the network, and in response, the network may indicate a service context for communicating with the services included in the service group. The UE may use the same service context to access the different services in the service group.

  • Patent number: 12279196
    Abstract: Techniques are described to support call routing and location for a user equipment (UE) with satellite wireless access to a serving PLMN. The UE sends a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) INVITE message to a network node, such as a P-CSCF, that includes an indication of satellite access for the UE. In response the network node sends a request to another network node for a cell ID for a fixed cell in which the UE is located. The fixed cell can be independent of satellite radio cells for the serving PLMN. The network node may receive the cell ID for the fixed cell and sends the SIP INVITE message to another network node (e.g., an E-CSCF or LRF) with the cell ID for the fixed cell. The other network node may use the cell ID to route the SIP INVITE message or obtain an approximate location of the UE.

  • Patent number: 12279251
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for improving sidelink communication reliability. In some examples, a user equipment (UE) may map allocated sidelink resources from a logical domain to a physical domain, where the mapped resources may include greater frequency diversity in the physical domain A frequency range of a sidelink control channel or of a sidelink data channel may be greater in the physical domain than in the logical domain after the mapping. In some examples, sidelink communications may be associated with an aggregation factor that represents a number of repetitions of a sidelink communication. In this example, a UE may repeat a sidelink communication within a contention-based resource pool a number of times before receiving feedback in order to increase communication reliability. A first UE may communicate a sidelink communication with a second UE using a resource mapping or repetitions of the sidelink communication.
