Abstract: This disclosure relates to a privacy preserving machine learning platform. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, from a client device and by a computing system of multiple multi-party computation (MPC) systems, a first request for user group identifiers that identify user groups to which to add a user. The first request includes a model identifier for a centroid model, first user profile data for a user profile of the user, and a threshold distance. For each user group in a set of user groups corresponding to the model identifier, a centroid for the user group that is determined using a centroid model corresponding to the model identifier is identified. The computing system determines a user group result based at least on the first user profile data, the centroids, and the threshold distance. The user group result is indicative of user group(s) to which to add the user.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured for multi-beam operation in a fifth-generation new radio (5G-NR) system may decode a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). When a DCI format for a configured grant (CG) based small data transmission (SDT) (CG-SDT) is detected and a transport block (TB) is received in a corresponding physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), the UE may assume that a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) antenna port associated with PDCCH receptions and a DM-RS antenna port associated with PDSCH receptions are quasi co-located (QCL) with a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) associated with a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource for the CG-SDT. During the CG-SDT, the UE may encode a PUCCH for transmission using a same spatial domain transmission filter as a last PUSCH transmission.

Abstract: A system can receive user data from a computing device of a user. Based on the user data, the system can determine that the user will utilize a transport service to arrive at a destination location at a specified time. Prior to the specified time, the system can monitor transport service conditions within a region that includes a current location of the user, and determine a service request time for the user based at least in part on the transport service conditions. The system then automatically generates the service request for the user at the service request time to match the user to a transport provider.

The positioning response can be implemented in a RACH message B (MsgB).
