Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media herein provide for detecting anomalies in RF emissions. RF emissions may be detected within a predetermined geographical area, for example by an RF detecting device. It is determined that at least a portion of the RF emissions trigger a predetermined threshold, such as a set of rules. Based on the RF emissions triggering a predetermined threshold, an anomaly is identified in the RF emissions. An indication of the anomaly is communicated to, for example, a third party device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media herein provide multiple perspectives for viewing lossless transmissions of VR scenes. Tracking and scene data associated with a three dimensional “3D” scene are received and used to determine viewing parameters that define a particular perspective from which to render the 3D for display at a particular recipient device. The tracking and scene data is streamed without compression to recipient devices prior to rendering allowing for dynamic and flexible viewing perspective selection by the recipient devices. The recipient devices may render and display the 3D scene in accordance to a particular viewing perspective.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein that relate to performing and managing validation tests for XR applications to provide validation for the quality and usability of the applications within XR capable user devices. An example provides a testing system that receives a request to perform validation tests for an XR application executing on an XR capable device, the request including unique testing specifications corresponding to the XR capable device. The testing system may identify testing device capabilities to perform the validation tests and select a testing device of a plurality of testing devices based at least on the testing device capabilities associated with the testing device to execute the validation tests for the XR application according to the testing specifications and report test results from the validation tests to a testing log.

Abstract: While a first UE is engaged in an active call with a third UE, the first UE may receive an incoming call from a second UE. An option is presented on a display of the first UE to place this incoming call on hold. In response to receiving touch input selecting the option to place the second UE on hold, one or more communications may be sent to the second UE on hold, such as interactive or non-interactive video or audio. As a result, the call experience may be enhanced. In particular, the user of the first UE may no longer incur the stress that comes with either having to flip back and forth between calls or make a decision whether to decline an incoming call. And the user of the second UE may be more likely to wait on hold until the first call has ended.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for securely managing and tracking UAV flight paths. The techniques include receiving a flight plan from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV comprises a memory unit for storing a key associated with the UAV. The key enables the UAV to add one or more blocks on a blockchain distributed ledger, wherein the flight plan comprises one or more legs of a flight path. The techniques further include receiving, from the UAV, a block indicating that the UAV completed at least one leg of the flight path. The block can include a hash associated with the at least one leg of the flight path. The block is validated based at least on the hash associated with the at least one leg of the flight path and if the block is validated, a success notification is transmitted to the UAV to continue executing the flight plan.

Abstract: An edge computing device receives, from a user device via an isolated local area network, a request for computing services that are hosted on the edge computing device and not on the user device. The edge computing device accesses policies that are applicable to the user device and the requested computing services. Based on the policies and the requested computing services, the edge computing device instantiates a container configured to provide the requested computing services. The container receives offloaded processing tasks from the device. The container executes the offloaded processing tasks, and sends, to the user device, data indicative of the processed tasks.

The evaluation pipeline may include one or more computing instances that execute one or more validation tests for the XR application executing on the corresponding XR capable device according to the individual testing specifications and the testing configurations. The one or more computing instances may operate in parallel to perform the one or more validation tests concurrently. Based at least on test results generated from the one or more computing instances and one or more evaluation criteria, the XR application executing on the corresponding XR capable device may be validated.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for managing email traffic and reducing the flow of incoming messages by providing alternate communication service between a sender of an email and a recipient of the email. The techniques include detecting a new email initiated via an email client from a sender's user device, the new email being addressed to a recipient's email address that is associated with a recipient's email account. The techniques also include triggering the email client to display an option for an alternate communication service to communicate with a recipient associated with the recipient's email address based at least on communication settings associated with the recipient's email account. The techniques further include receiving, from the sender's user device, a selection for the alternate communication service to communicate with the recipient.
