Abstract: Aspects are provided for enhancing HARQ ACK for Message 4 or Message B. An apparatus may obtain a configuration indicating a number of repetitions for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission in a plurality of slots prior to activation of a dedicated PUCCH resource configuration with a plurality of repetitions based on a radio resource control (RRC) message. The PUCCH transmission includes a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback message in response to receiving a message on a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in a random access procedure. The PUCCH transmission may then be transmitted on a PUCCH according to the number of repetitions. This allows coverage techniques to be applied to certain transmissions in order to improve coverage and reliability. In an aspect, the coverage enhancement techniques may include repetition of a transmission for coverage extension.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described, in which a communication device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a network entity) may perform carrier aggregation, and cross-carrier scheduling provides that a first carrier may provide scheduling information for one or more other carriers, in which the one or more other carriers may have different discontinuous reception (DRX) configurations than the first carrier. One or more DRX-related timers of different DRX groups may be started or restarted based on a control information reception on the first carrier, or on a different carrier of a different DRX group. Additionally, or alternatively, control information transmissions on the first carrier may be provided based on one or more DRX-related timers that are associated with the first carrier, or that are associated with a carrier of another DRX group than the DRX group of the first carrier, or any combinations thereof.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receiving information identifying a timing and position for a transition from a first synchronization signal block associated with a first cell to a second synchronization signal block associated with a second cell, wherein the first cell and the second cell have a common physical cell index and a common frequency. The UE may tune from the first synchronization signal block to the second synchronization signal block in accordance with the timing and position. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for cropping and annotating images on a touch sensitive display device or other handheld device, including the following steps: (a) displaying an image of the image file to be cropped/annotated; (b) receiving an first input from a user designating a first point in the image defining a corner of a crop/annotation rectangle; (c) receiving a second input from the user designating a second point in the image defining an opposite corner of the crop/annotation rectangle; and (d) cropping and/or annotating the image from the first point to the second point of the crop/annotation rectangle. The present invention may be used in digital cameras, Apple iPhones®, hand-held devices that inspectors may use to annotate photographs taken to substantiate statements of problems found during industrial inspections, and in other purposes.
