  • Publication number: 20240305745
    Abstract: Method, system and computer program product for providing a second digital video stream. In a collecting step, a first and a second primary digital video stream are collected from at least two different digital video sources. In a first production step, a first produced video stream is produced based on the first and second primary streams. In a second production step, the second stream is produced based on the first produced stream and also based on the first and second primary streams. In the second production step, the first and second primary streams are time-delayed so as to time-synchronise them with the first produced stream, taking into consideration a latency of the first produced stream resulting from the first production step, the second produced stream being produced based on the time-delayed first and second primary streams.

  • Patent number: 12088373
    Abstract: In a multi-BPL scenario, some form of beam-related indication is desirable to provide assistance to the UE in setting its Rx spatial filtering configuration to receive PDSCH. The assistance to the UE is in the form of a certain indicator indicating a spatial QCL assumption between PDSCH DMRS antenna port(s) and DL RS (e.g., CSI-RS) antenna port(s), such as a preferred CSI-RS resource that was measured and reported previously.

  • Patent number: 12068833
    Abstract: Systems and methods for beam selection for communication with a Transmit/Receive Point (TRP) are provided. In some embodiments, a method performed by a wireless device for beam selection for communication with a TRP includes: determining how the TRP changes a polarization state for a series of Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) bursts; sweeping through candidate Receive (RX) beams during SSB reception using an order based on how the TRP changes the polarization state; and combining channel measurements from sweeping through the candidate RX beams to determine a target RX beam of the candidate RX beams. In this way, wireless device beam selection can be improved which will improve Downlink (DL) performance. In case the wireless device has beam correspondence, the wireless device RX beam is also likely to be used as the Uplink (UL) Transmit (TX) beam, and in that case UL performance will also be improved.
