Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a control signal for automatic wireless network version detection of a transmission. The control signal enables a receiver to detect the wireless network version detection of the transmission, so that the proper wireless network version is used for interpreting signaling information and decoding of the payload of the transmission. In some examples, the control signal is within a preamble of the transmission. The wireless network version can be an IEEE 802.11 version, such as proposed IEEE 802.11be. The control signal is compatible with legacy systems and can indicate the legacy signaling information by way of a Legacy Signal (SIG) (L-SIG) symbol. In some examples, the control signal can indicate the wireless network version by using an identifier symbol which is generated from at least part of, but is not identical to, the L-SIG symbol.

Abstract: A method includes cellular vehicle-to-everything (CV2X) allocation collision detection and reporting. An allocation collision detection module detects control channel allocations from transmitting user equipments (UEs) in each time period of a group of time periods. A quantity of detected control channel allocations is determined in each time period. A report is then built and transmitted to at least one of the transmitting UEs. The report indicates collisions in each time period, based on the quantity and a location of the detected control channels in each time period, as well as based on a type of UE interface.

Abstract: This application provides a training sequence transmission method and apparatus. The method includes: A first AP broadcasts a trigger frame, where the trigger frame indicates a time sequence of separately sending channel sounding frames by N STAs, and N is an integer greater than 1. The first AP receives the channel sounding frames sequentially sent by the N STAs, where one channel sounding frame includes one or more training sequences. In this solution, only one trigger frame needs to be sent, so that the N STAs can be triggered to separately report channel sounding frames to M+1 APs. However, in the conventional technology, each AP needs to send one channel training request to each STA, that is, N×(M+1) channel training requests are sent in total, to trigger each STA to report a training sequence. Therefore, this solution can significantly reduce signaling overheads.

Abstract: Data samples are transmitted from a central server to at least one local server apparatus. The central server receives a set of predictions from the at least one local server apparatus that are based on the transmitted set of data samples.

Neither local data from local sites nor trained models from the local sites are transmitted to the central server. This ensures protection and security of data at the local sites.
