In parallel to SSB transmission by the DU, user equipment (UEs) and IAB-mobile terminations may be configured to search for and measure on SSBs at specific time instance.

Abstract: In some implementations a system can be configured to reduce the burden of pairing user devices with playback devices. For example, all users (or user devices) who commonly operate within a particular environment (e.g., a home) can be configured as authorized users of playback devices within the particular environment. When one of the authorized users pairs a user device with a playback device, all of the user devices for all authorized users can be automatically paired with the playback device as a result of the single pairing. Thus, only a single authorized user is burdened with the pairing process in order to pair all authorized users with the playback device.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for error detection and recovery when streaming data are described. A system includes one or more companion direct memory access (DMA) subsystems for transferring data. When an error is detected for a component of the companion DMA subsystem(s), the operations performed by the other components need to gracefully adapt to this error so that operations face only a minimal disruption. For example, while one or more consumers are still consuming a first frame, a companion router receives an indication of an error for a second frame, causing the companion router to send a router frame abort message to a route manager. In response, the route manager waits until the consumer(s) are consuming the second frame before sending them a frame abort message. The consumer(s) flush their pipeline and transition to an idle state waiting for a third frame after receiving the frame abort message.

Abstract: A display may have a pixel array such as a liquid crystal pixel array. The pixel array may be illuminated by a backlight unit that includes an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The backlight unit may determine the type of content in the image data. The backlight unit may decide to prioritize either mitigating halo or mitigating clipping based on the type of content. The determination of the type of content in the image data may be used to determine the brightness values for the LEDs in the LED array. If the content is determined to be a first type of content, at least one given LED in the LED array may have a different brightness value than if the content is determined to be a second, different type of content. Classifying content in the image data may be useful in optimizing visible artifacts such as visible halo and clipping.

Abstract: A server network accepts asynchronous notification messages from multiple application servers and efficiently routes notification messages in the form of notification taps to a user device, which can operate in a low power mode. The user device may or may not be a cellular device. The server network maintains states for the user devices in terms of identifiers useful for routing. A network server proximate to the user device registers the identifiers useful for routing the notifications. When the server network receives a notification from a source application, the proximate network server determines a routing based on the registration and sends a notification tap to the user device. The user device can obtain notification content sourced by the source application. The user device can delegate the role of receiving notification taps to a delegate device, where the delegate device may have wall-power and/or a wired or wireless network connection.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for dynamic sharing of resources such as radio frequency (RF) spectrum in a wireless system. In one embodiment, the sharing is conducted among a number of base stations (e.g., eNodeBs or Access Points (APs)), or among different radio access technologies (RATs).

Such dynamic spectrum sharing allows opportunistic use of additional RF carriers in a multi•carrier system as opposed to permanent availability to the eNodeB or AP regardless of their effective usage.
