Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A communication device, such as a network entity may determine a set of topologies associated with a non-linear distortion characteristic of a wireless communication at a set of devices (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a base station). For example, a single waveform may have different distortion characteristics on different frequencies. Each of one or more topologies of the set of topologies may include a frequency spectrum mask for the wireless communication. The wireless communication may include a waveform at a first frequency. The frequency spectrum mask associated with the non-linear distortion characteristic of the waveform at the first frequency may be for interference mitigation at a second frequency different than the first frequency. The network entity may transmit first control signaling indicating the set of topologies associated with the non-linear distortion characteristic of the waveform.

The DRX on-duration and the reserved EH duration may be part of a periodic cycle. The EH device may perform data communication during the DRX on-duration. The EH device may switch one or more antennas of the first device to an EH mode and perform EH during the reserved EH duration. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present application provide for grouping of User Equipment (UEs) in clusters and/or tiers. The grouping may be based on a dynamically updated mean squared error-position/relative position map maintained at a transmission point. Additionally, grouping may be implemented in a hierarchical and cooperative manner, such that some UEs act, in a higher tier, as an Anchor UE to other UEs in lower tiers. Furthermore, the UEs may be understood to self-organize into clusters of UEs. A cluster of UEs may be represented by a single, representative UE to reduce signaling overhead between UEs in a given UE cluster and various Anchor UEs and/or transmission points. Moreover, cooperation between UEs in the same cluster may be based on sensing and on sharing, among the UEs, a relative position estimate and an position estimation MSE associated with the relative position estimate.

Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating location of features in a pipeline can be based on a device with two arrays axially spaced apart from each other by a distance. Measurements of signals from the first array and the second array of electromagnetic sensors are acquired and, based on the measurements, welds in walls of the pipeline are detected.

The position of the device in the pipeline can be estimated based, at least in part, on the estimates of the instantaneous velocity of the device over time.
