  • Patent number: 11284377
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses of a wireless communications network can involve transmitting, to a first user equipment (UE), configuration information for the first UE (UE1 configuration information) for an inter-device session (IDS) between the first UE and a second UE. The UE1 configuration information may include a first IDS radio network temporary identifier (IDS-RNTI). A radio resource control (RRC) message indicating a resource allocation can be transmitted to the first UE for the first UE to communicate directly with the second UE.

  • Publication number: 20210400690
    Abstract: In some examples, a network node receives, from a first user equipment (UE), a report indicating that the first UE received a proximity beacon from a second UE and indicating a transmission opportunity during which the proximity beacon was received. In response to receiving the report at the network node, the network node transmits, to the first UE, an identity associated with the second UE according to contents of the proximity beacon.

  • Patent number: 11082998
    Abstract: A method for communication in a wireless telecommunications system is provided. The method comprises receiving, by a first User Equipment (UE), a reference signal transmitted by a second UE and transmitting, by the first UE to a network node, a report indicating that the reference signal was received. The reference signal is received in a detection opportunity that occurs as one of a single detection opportunity or a portion of a pattern of detection opportunities.

  • Publication number: 20210209223
    Abstract: A guest operating system executing on a virtual machine hosted by a host operating system may forward information about the state of the guest operating system to the host operating system for analysis regarding security threats. The host operating system may also forward information about the state of the host operating system to the guest operating system for analysis regarding security threats. One or both of the guest operating system and the host operating system may also forward the information about their state(s) to a remote server for analysis regarding security threats to the machine running the host operating system and hosting the virtual machine running the guest operating system. Security threats may be identified based on a detection of abnormal behavior. Abnormal behavior may be detected using machine-learning models. The machine-learning models may be trained/refined over time based on collected state information.
