  • Patent number: 12284690
    Abstract: Some techniques and apparatuses described herein provide an indication of a result of decoding a two-step random access channel (RACH) message and an action to be performed by a user equipment (UE). For example, some techniques and apparatuses described herein may provide the indication using a UE contention resolution identity-based approach, wherein the contention resolution identity of the UE may be provided in a random access response. Some techniques and apparatuses described herein may use a fallback indicator that indicates the result of decoding and/or the action to be performed. Some techniques and apparatuses described herein may use a random access response (RAR) subheader that selectively omits a random access preamble identifier based at least in part on the result of decoding and/or the action to be performed.

  • Publication number: 20250126565
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may indicate to the network (e.g., a base station that the UE is communicating with) that the UE is transitioning to an energy harvesting mode, and the network may transmit an indication of a radio resource that is configured for the energy harvesting mode. The UE may communicate with the network via the configured radio resource during the energy harvesting mode. The network may transmit one or more parameters that may trigger the UE to enter the energy harvesting mode. The UE may transmit an indication that the UE is transitioning out of the energy harvesting mode to a normal capability mode, or the UE may transmit an indication that the UE is staying in the energy harvesting mode. The network may indicate, to the UE, a radio resource for a normal capability mode.

  • Publication number: 20250120769
    Abstract: An adjustable marker reference device for identifying surgical instruments includes a base, an upper cover, a set of connecting rods, markers and a fixing button. The base has a first groove, and the upper cover has a second groove. The set of connecting rods is disposed between the base and the upper cover, and has two movable ends and a pivot point. The fixing button extends through the first groove, the pivot point and the second groove. When the fixing button is pressed, the set of connecting rods can freely bring the pivot point to slide along the first groove and the second groove. When the fixing button is not pressed, the pivot point is fixed at one of default positions. As the set of connecting rods is fixed, virtual lines between any two of the markers meet specific conditions.

  • Patent number: 12273858
    Abstract: Idle discontinuous reception (I-DRX) cycles at a user equipment (UE) may be extended via leveraging of paging assistance from a second UE. For example, a low complexity UE may have a connection to a network (e.g., via a link to a base station) as well as a connection to another UE (e.g., via a device-to-device link to a regular UE). In cases where such a low complexity UE receives paging messages from the network, a UE associated with a device-to-device link of the low complexity UE may monitor paging messages on behalf of the low complexity UE. As such, the low complexity UE may extend its I-DRX cycle, as the assisting UE monitors paging information for the low complexity UE. The assisting UE may forward paging information for the low complexity UE according to paging occasions of the extended I-DRX cycle of the low complexity UE.
