Abstract: Techniques are described for signaling information used to generate three-dimensional (3D) color lookup tables for color gamut scalability in multi-layer video coding. A lower layer of video data may include color data in a first color gamut and a higher layer of the video data may include color data in a second color gamut. To generate inter-layer reference pictures, a video encoder and/or video decoder performs color prediction to convert the color data of a reference picture in the first color gamut to the second color gamut. The video coder may perform color prediction using a 3D lookup table. According to the techniques, a video encoder may encode partition information and/or color values of a 3D lookup table generated for color gamut scalability. A video decoder may decode the partition information and/or color values to generate the 3D lookup table in order to perform color gamut scalability.

Abstract: A communications apparatus includes a radio transceiver and a processor. The radio transceiver is configured for transmitting or receiving wireless radio frequency signals to or from a peer device. The processor determines whether re-synchronization in a communication mode with the peer device is required according to a determination rule. When the re-synchronization is required, the processor transmits a message to the peer device via the radio transceiver to trigger a re-synchronization procedure. The processor determines whether the re-synchronization is required in a connected mode.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) configured with several component carriers (CCs) may select one or more CCs for fast activation. The UE may, in various examples, autonomously select the CCs for fast activation or may receive signaling indicating such CCs. In some cases, the UE may place the selected CCs in a semi-active state by detecting and synchronizing the CCs while refraining from control channel monitoring. In other examples, the UE may identify a set of CCs that may be activated quickly based on channel conditions or that have activation interdependency, such as CCs in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group. The UE may then trigger an activation for one of the selected CCs, determine it is capable of fast activation, and begin monitoring, e.g., for control information, after a reduced delay period based on the fast activation.

Abstract: Wireless devices may exchange data related to multiple available random access procedures for network access. A random access procedure of the available random access procedures may be selected, and a random access message transmitted based on the selected random access procedure. Available random access procedures may include procedures that provide for a different number of random access messages or that are for use in communications having different transmission time intervals (TTIs). For example, a random access procedure may include a total of two random access messages or a total of four random access messages for accessing the wireless communications network. The use of one random access procedure instead of the other may depend on a wireless device's location relative to its serving base station.
