Abstract: A tracking system determines a location of a tracking device associated with a user using one or more access points at the location. Each access point at the location is configured to detect and couple with the tracking device when the tracking device is within a communicative range of the access point. An access point provides updates on the tracking device's presence, as well as the tracking device's arrival to and departure from the communicative range of the access point, to a tracking server. The tracking server determines, from these updates, whether the tracking device is at the location. The user may be notified, via a mobile device, of the tracking device's location.

Abstract: Additional requirements for spectrum emissions may be matched with regional requirements, and an additional maximum power reduction (A-MPR) for a user equipment (UE) may be based on an actual antenna gain of the UE. For example, a UE may be located in a particular region and be required to meet regional requirements for wireless communications. In such cases, the UE may receive network signaling from a base station, and identify an antenna gain for its antenna. The UE may then identify a set of emission requirements based on the identified antenna gain and the network signaling. Additionally, the UE may identify an A-MPR based on the set of emission requirements and the antenna gain and may adjust a maximum output power in accordance with the identified A-MPR. In some examples, an output power threshold may be derived using a difference between a regional requirement and the UE's antenna gain.

Abstract: Low latency transmission time interval (TTI) structures and feedback configurations allow for a downlink transmission, a feedback indication indicating successful or unsuccessful reception of the downlink transmission, and a retransmission of the downlink transmission, within a same subframe or 1 ms time period. A TTI structure may include a number of shortened TTIs (sTTIs) that are transmitted in a subframe, and timing for feedback transmissions may be identified based at least in part on the TTI structure. The TTI structure and configurations for feedback timing may be dynamically or semi-statically determined by a user equipment (UE). In some cases, the TTI structure may include an identified partial sTTI allocated to a UE that may span fewer than all of the resources of a sTTI and allow for faster processing and generation of feedback information, and for faster retransmissions of unsuccessfully received transmissions.
