    Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may be configured to implement layer 1/layer 2 (L1/L2) based inter-cell mobility procedures with reduced latency during handover or other mobility operations. The WTRU may be configured to receive configuration information associated with a plurality of candidate cells. The configuration information may be associated with a physical layer measurement for each candidate cell. The configuration information may include a measurement criteria. The WTRU may be configured to determine a subset of the plurality of candidate cells, with each candidate cell in the subset determined based on the measurement criteria. The WTRU may be configured to send a report indicating the subset. perform a physical layer measurement on the subset, and receive an indication to perform layer handover to a candidate cell of the subset.

  • Patent number: 12282483
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using a structured data database and for exchanging electronic files containing unstructured or partially structured data. A system stores first structured data in a database, wherein the structured data represents a property. The system generates an electronic file, including by (a) storing unstructured data in the electronic file, wherein the unstructured data causes a representation of the property to be rendered on a face of a document represented by the file and (b) storing an identifier in the electronic file indicating a location in the database at which the first structured data is stored. The file is transmitted outside the system. Upon receipt of a copy of the file, the system reads the identifier from the copy of the received file and accesses the database location indicated by the identifier read from the received file.

  • Patent number: 12282850
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and a computing system are provided for training a matting neural network to generate mattes for creating portraits to be used on identity documents. The matting neural network is trained by using standardized images conforming to a template which prescribes that each standardized image should depict a human face. A standardized image is obtained by adjusting an input image which includes an area representing a face of the person and was, e.g., taken with a camera, so that a relationship between the size of the adjusted input image and the distance between target points (which represent parts of the person) in the adjusted input image satisfies a condition determined by the template, and in the adjusted input image the area is in a position defined by the template.

  • Publication number: 20250126535
    Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may comprise a processor. The processor may be configured to receive (e.g., via broadcast) configuration information indicating a time that a same-PCI satellite switch may occur. In one or more examples, the WTRU may transmit assistance information prior to the same-PCI satellite switch. The assistance information may, for example, include a re-synchronization duration, capabilities to synchronization procedures, and/or a time indication for resuming TX and/or RX. The WTRU may receive configuration information for satellite re-synchronization. The WTRU may perform the same-PCI satellite switch to the second satellite, for example, based on the configuration information indicating the time for the same-PCI satellite switch. In performing the same-PCI satellite switch, the WTRU may start a resynchronization gap, suspend UL TX and/or DL RX, and/or perform re-synchronization procedure(s).

  • Patent number: 12265947
    Abstract: A method receives an input file. The input file includes a plurality of entries where different entries are associated with a different characteristic. A selection of a guide for an entry is determined where a guide includes guidelines for formatting content in an entry in the plurality of entries. The method performs analyzing an image from the entry to generate image variations. Then, the method analyzes the image and the image variations to place text items from the entry in the image and the image variations where the text items in the image and the image variations are formatted based on the guidelines in the guide for the entry. A plurality of design variants is generated for the entry based on the image and the image variations that include text items.

  • Patent number: 12262239
    Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may comprise a processor and memory. The processor and memory may be configured to receive configuration information indicating measurement relaxation criteria for radio link monitoring (RLM) or beam failure detection (BFD) and a prohibit time period for reporting a measurement relaxation state. The WTRU may determine that the measurement relaxation state of the WTRU has changed based on the measurement relaxation criteria. The WTRU may determine that the prohibit time period has ended. The WTRU may send a report based on the determination that the measurement relaxation state has changed and the determination that the prohibit time period has ended. The report may include an indication of a measurement relaxation state.

  • Publication number: 20250039728
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described herein for data transfer with energy harvesting (EH). EH may offer zero-energy consumption data communication. EH may impose intermittent connection drops due to battery shortage. If a certain condition is met (e.g., battery shortage), the RRC state or DRX/DTX configuration may be switched and data transfer operation may be suspended. EH may be performed to charge the battery/capacitor of the WTRU in the changed RRC state (e.g., new RRC state) or in a changed DRX/DTX operation (e.g., new DRX/DTX operation). If the state is transitioned or the DRX/DTX configuration is changed, protocol times (e.g., via all protocol timers) may be suspended and the user data maintained so that the transmitter and the receiver entities may resume data communication without any data loss or with very small loss of data.
