Abstract: A display includes a light-guide optical element (LOE) (20) and a projector arrangement (10a) for injecting an image into the LOE so as to propagate within the LOE by internal reflection at a pair of major faces. The image is coupled out from the LOE by a coupling-out arrangement, exemplified here as internal partially-reflecting surfaces (22b). The image is coupled out from the LOE in a direction away from the eye of the observer (24b), and a reflector (30) reflects the coupled-out image back through the LOE (32), towards the eye of the observer (26). Reflector (30) is preferably a selective partial reflector, and may be convex to provide a desired apparent image distance.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for slot preconfiguration for coverage enhancement and power saving. An example method performed by a UE includes processing one or more synchronization signals in a first slot according to a first configuration of slot parameters, wherein the synchronization signals are used for at least one of time or frequency tracking, receiving, from a network entity, a second configuration of slot parameters, and processing a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a second slot according to the second configuration of slot parameters, wherein the second slot occurs within a configured slot duration that is offset in time from the first slot.

Abstract: Provided are machine learning models that generate geometry-free neural scene representations through efficient object-centric novel-view synthesis. In particular, one example aspect of the present disclosure provides a novel framework in which an encoder model (e.g., an encoder transformer network) processes one or more RGB images (with or without pose) to produce a fully latent scene representation that can be passed to a decoder model (e.g., a decoder transformer network). Given one or more target poses, the decoder model can synthesize images in a single forward pass. In some example implementations, because transformers are used rather than convolutional or MLP networks, the encoder can learn an attention model that extracts enough 3D information about a scene from a small set of images to render novel views with correct projections, parallax, occlusions, and even semantics, without explicit geometry.

Abstract: A UE of a wireless communication network first receives a modulation and coding scheme index IMCS for demodulating a physical layer data channel of the network. The UE then demodulates the physical layer data channel with a non-square quadrature amplitude modulation (NS-QAM) having a modulation order and code rate corresponding to a spectral efficiency (SPEFF) substantially equal to a SPEFF of a square QAM (S-QAM) SPEFF indicted by the IMCS, where the NS-QAM has an effective channel code rate no larger than the code rate for which the UE may skip decoding a transport block in an initial received transmission.
