  • Patent number: 11902525
    Abstract: Techniques and tools for encoding enhancement layer video with quantization that varies spatially and/or between color channels are presented, along with corresponding decoding techniques and tools. For example, an encoding tool determines whether quantization varies spatially over a picture, and the tool also determines whether quantization varies between color channels in the picture. The tool signals quantization parameters for macroblocks in the picture in an encoded bit stream. In some implementations, to signal the quantization parameters, the tool predicts the quantization parameters, and the quantization parameters are signaled with reference to the predicted quantization parameters. A decoding tool receives the encoded bit stream, predicts the quantization parameters, and uses the signaled information to determine the quantization parameters for the macroblocks of the enhancement layer video. The decoding tool performs inverse quantization that can vary spatially and/or between color channels.

  • Publication number: 20240049094
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) disconnects from next generation radio access network (NG-RAN) base station (BS) and receives, from the NG-RAN BS, a fallback indication. The UE then attempts to connect to an evolved-universal mobile telecommunications system terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) BS. The UE determines that communication with the E-UTRAN BS was not established and identifies an alternate BS. After establishing communication with the alternate BS, the UE generates and transmits a report to the alternate BS including the fallback indication and information relating to the failed connection attempt with the E-UTRAN BS. The report is then conveyed to the NG-RAN BS for optimization of future fallback procedures.

  • Publication number: 20240049095
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) using information identified via radio access technology (RAT) (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) to support communications in another RAT (e.g., New Radio (NR)). For example, the UE may receive, from a first base station operating according to a first radio access technology an indication of a high speed associated with a first wireless connection of the UE with the first base station. The UE may perform a channel estimation procedure for the first wireless connection to generate a Doppler value based on receiving the indication. The UE may apply the generated Doppler value to a frequency tracking loop or a time tracking loop for communications with a second base station via a second wireless connection, wherein the second base station is operating according to a second RAT.
