Abstract: A transmitter in a frequency domain duplexing (FDD) network system is configured to receive spectral information from neighbor receiver nodes. For each of the neighbor receiver nodes, the transmitter computes an SNR at each of the plurality of frequencies, forming an SNR curve. For each of the transmit frequencies, the transmitter identifies minimum SNR values among the SNR values on the SNR curves. The minimum SNR values form a composite minimum curve. Based on the composite minimum curve, the transmitter determines whether an SNR of a current transmit frequency is above (1) a first threshold associated with an operating SNR, or (2) a second threshold associated with a maximum of the composite minimum curve. Based on the determination, the transmitter determines whether a new transmit frequency is selected to replace the current transmit frequency.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine a duplexing configuration (e.g., frequency division duplexing (FDD) or time division duplexing (TDD)) of a carrier based on one or more synchronization signals. The UE may then receive a master information block (MIB) on the carrier, and may interpret one or more fields of the MIB based on the duplexing configuration of the carrier. The configuration dependent fields may include a special subframe field, a system information location field, or both. In some cases, such as in a TDD configuration, the UE may postulate a special subframe configuration of the carrier in order to receive the MIB, and may update the postulated special subframe configuration after receiving the MIB.

Abstract: A RAN node can indicate to a UE that a compact measurement report is to be used for beam measurements in a measurement report. A compact measurement report uses beam index numbers to indicate a position in a reference set. The reference set has a listing of resource indicators for beam measurements. As such, a reported beam measurement associated with a beam index number is also associated with the resource indicator positioned in the reference set indicated by the beam index number. The beam index numbers can be transmitted using fewer bits than are used for a resource indicator. The payload for a measurement report such as a L-SINR or L-RSP L1 measurement report is thereby reduced when the measurement report is transmitted as a compact measurement report.

Abstract: The present technology is directed to a system and method for automatic triggering of relevant code segments corresponding to a sequence of code segments or function codes having a preferred execution order. The automatic triggering action is based on the snooping of a response generated from an execution of a previous code segment. Information with respect to the next code segment in the preferred execution order may be obtained by directing a network proxy, such as Envoy to snoop the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) field of a response packet being forwarded to a client entity. In this way, a network proxy may preemptively spawn and instantiate the following function codes (pointed to by the snooped Uniform Resource Identifier) prior to receiving the corresponding client request. As such, by the time a client request for the subsequent function code is received the code ready for execution.
