  • Publication number: 20240107594
    Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable a first UE to utilize inference results provided by at least a second UE to improve its inference accuracy. In one aspect, a first UE establishes an ML inference result sharing session with one or more second UEs for at least one ML inference task. The first UE receives a first set of ML inference results associated with the at least one ML inference task, where the first set of ML inference results is received from the one or more second UEs during the ML inference result sharing session. The first UE estimates an aggregated ML inference result based on at least one of the first set of ML inference results or a second set of ML inference results, where the second set of ML inference results is configured by the first UE for the at least one ML inference task.

  • Publication number: 20240064793
    Abstract: Aspects are provided which allow a UE to achieve sidelink parameter coordination through various signaling in clustered FL or peer-to-peer FL. The UE provides a first ML model information update and a measurement associated with the update. The UE obtains an aggregated ML model information update aggregating the first update with a second ML model information update of either a first network node in a FL cluster including the UE or a second network node in a second FL cluster. The UE provides a sidelink communication parameter in SCI to a network node, which parameter is an output of an ML model associated with the aggregated ML model information update. As a result, UEs may derive common SCI parameters from their updated ML models to apply in sidelink communications, thereby leading to maximized packet reception rate, maximized throughput, or minimized latency in communication.

  • Publication number: 20240040415
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for using situational information to aid in beam-based communications between a first user equipment (UE) and a network entity. The first UE may collect data at one or more sensors and may generate the situational information using the collected data. The first UE may then use the situational information in a beam selection procedure to identify suitable candidate beams for communicating with the network entity. The first UE may also transmit the situational information to the network entity in a beam management report, and the network entity may use the situational information to identify suitable candidate beams for communicating with the first UE. In some cases, the network entity may also use the situational information to identify suitable candidate beams for communicating with a second UE associated with the first UE.

  • Patent number: 11825313
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit a request for a first user equipment (UE) to provide sensing capability information associated with UEs other than the first UE (e.g., an indication of one or more sensors associated with the corresponding UE, an orientation of the corresponding UE, a field of view associated with the corresponding UE). Additionally, the first UE may receive, from each of a set of second UEs, indications of the sensing capability information associated with the corresponding second UEs. Based on the sensing capability information indicated for each of the set of second UEs, the first UE select a subset of second UEs and transmit an indication of the sensing capability information associated with the subset of second UEs to the base station.

  • Publication number: 20230325706
    Abstract: Aspects are provided which allow a UE to switch between feature data extraction models in order to provide adaptive feature data of dynamic, potential LOS obstacles for improved beam blockage prediction performance (or other functions) at the network node. Initially, the network node receives first feature data from a UE based on a first data extraction model of the UE. The network node transmits a message instructing the UE to switch from the first data extraction model to a second data extraction model of the UE based on a state of the UE. In response to the message, the UE determines to switch from the first data extraction model to the second data extraction model and transmits, to the network node, second feature data based on the second data extraction model. The network node may then determine a beam blockage prediction in response to the second feature data.

  • Publication number: 20230328492
    Abstract: Aspects of dynamic and interactive machine learning and feature extraction techniques for performing beam interference management are disclosed. In one aspect, upon entering a coverage area, a UE may transmit a discovery message including one or more machine learning (ML) services for ML service discovery. Based on the ML service discovery, the UE may transmit a session request to establish a data service session between the UE and a network node based on the ML service discovery and other criteria such as extracted features. The network node may receive the ML discovery data and extracted features and aggregate this information with other intelligent network devices to enable the network node to predict a beam blockage during the ML inference data service session. The network node can adapt beam blockage predictions by changing the timing and direction of communications between network entities.

  • Publication number: 20230276338
    Abstract: A first UE and a second UE may exchange information relating to one or more machine learning data services. The one or more machine learning data services may be provided by the second UE. The first UE and the second UE may pair with each other for the one or more machine learning data services. The second UE may perform machine learning inference using at least one machine learning inference model, and may transmit the inference result (e.g., a link quality prediction) associated with a link between a network node and the first UE to the network node. The network node may switch (the direction of) the network node beam if the inference result predicts that the degree of link quality degradation associated with a current network node beam is going to be greater than a prespecified threshold.

  • Patent number: 6625351
    Abstract: Collimating microlenses are “printed” from optical polymeric materials on the ends of optical fibers using ink-jet technology. In one embodiment the optical fibers are inserted into a collet, a stand-off distance from the open upper end of the collet. The open upper end is filled with optical fluid and a microlens is formed thereon to collimate light exiting the fiber through the microlens. In another embodiment optical fibers from a “ribbon” are separated and installed into a ferrule having multiple openings therethrough. In the same manner as in the collet embodiment, the ferrule openings serve as a mold for the lens formation with the end of the fiber being located at the focal distance of the lenslet formed in an on the ferrule. A non-wetting coating can serve to control spreading of the fluid optical material and allow lens radius control as well. The microlenses are hardened after formation.

  • Publication number: 20010048968
    Abstract: A process is disclosed which utilizes ink-jet printing of optical polymeric fluids to produce microlenses on a substrate having an axial gradient index of refraction. Two optical polymeric fluids are used, one having an index of refraction higher than the other. A base portion of the microlens is printed using the lower index of refraction material and a cap portion of the microlens is printed over the base portion to produce a radiused formed microlens. Inter-diffusion of the base portion and top or cap portion creates a generally uniform gradient diffusion zone in the axial (vertical) direction wherein the lower boundary of the zone has the index of the base portion and the upper boundary of the zone has the index of the top portion. After a sufficient gradient diffusion zone is formed, the formed microlens is solidified by curing or other means to stop any further diffusion. The microlenses may be formed as individual lenses on a optical substrate or as an array of microlenses.
