Abstract: A method for predicting the quality and shelf life of fruits or vegetables includes: recording ambient temperatures of the fruits or vegetables continuously using a temperature recorder from the beginning of plucking the fruits or vegetables and throughout entire supply chain including harvesting, grading, storage, transport and shelf period, determining an effective accumulated temperature value of the fruits during the entire supply chain, and predicting marketable fruit rate and nutritional quality of the fruits based on the effective accumulated temperature value. The marketable fruit rate, firmness and vitamin C content negatively correlate with the accumulated temperature value, and thus it is possible to predict the marketable fruit rate and storage quality of fruits based on the effective accumulated temperature values of the fruits or vegetables during the post-harvest storage and shelf period.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may selectively determine to decode a downlink shared channel multicast transmission based on whether the downlink shared channel includes a retransmission of an initial multicast transmission. A base station may transmit a message in a downlink control channel to indicate if the downlink shared channel is carrying the retransmission of the initial multicast transmission. For example, the base station may transmit a group random network temporary identifier, downlink control information with a retransmission indicator bit, or both to indicate if the downlink shared channel is carrying the retransmission. In some cases, the message in the downlink control channel may be received at a layer one (L1) of the UE, and the downlink shared channel transmission may be decoded at L1 of the UE and sent to a layer two (L2) of the UE for processing.
