  • Patent number: 11696156
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which radio units (RUs), distributed units (DUs), or combinations thereof, may have a single hardware configuration that may be configured to implement different functions for radio frequency (RF) and baseband processing at a base station. A desired functionality for a RU or DU may be identified, and the RU or DU may be configured to implement the functionality through run-time configuration or boot images to implement a particular set of functions that may be needed for a particular cell or deployment. A RU or DU may be reconfigured following an initial configuration to perform different functions following the reconfiguration.

  • Patent number: 11109305
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for an extended feature indication in new radio (NR), such as for slice specific extension (SSE). Aspects provide a method that may be performed by a transmitter device, such as a user equipment (UE) or a network node (e.g., a base station (BS)). The method generally includes determining a network node supports an extended feature, the extended feature being associated with an extended feature identifier. The transmitter device transmits a message, the message including the extended feature identifier and an indication that the apparatus is using the extended feature. A receiver device can receive the message and process the message and/or one or more subsequent messages based on the indication that the transmitter device is using the extended feature and the extended feature identifier.

  • Patent number: 9507420
    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for providing haptic feedback to assist in capturing images are presented. In some embodiments, a method for providing haptic feedback to assist in capturing images includes obtaining, via an image capture device, an ambient light measurement of an environment in which the image capture device is present. The method further includes detecting, via the image capture device, one or more objects within one or more image frames captured by the image capture device. The method also includes changing, via the image capture device, a manner in which haptic feedback is provided to a user of the image capture device, based at least in part on the obtained ambient light measurement and the detected one or more objects.
