  • Patent number: 11968679
    Abstract: Wireless communications are described. A base station may send control information for scheduling data to be transmitted to the wireless device via a downlink. The control information may comprise one or more indications of wireless resources to be used by the wireless device to receive the data. The wireless device may receive the data based on one or more determinations/conditions, such as satisfying a time offset (e.g., between reception of the downlink information and a scheduled transmission of the data), whether a control resource set is configured to indicate a transmission configuration state, and/or whether the control information indicates a transmission configuration state.

  • Patent number: 11968675
    Abstract: This application provides a UCI sending and receiving method and a communications apparatus. In the method, an association relationship between a PUCCH and a PUSCH is established, so that when resources of the PUSCH and the PUCCH overlap, a terminal device can determine UCI on which PUCCHs can be transmitted by multiplexing the resource of the PUSCH. A network device may receive the UCI on the PUSCH. Because the network device may know in advance which PUCCHs and PUSCHs are sent to the network device, the network device can demodulate and decode a signal on the received PUSCHs, to successfully obtain UCI. The network device can make a proper decision based on the UCI.

  • Publication number: 20240112525
    Abstract: A gaming system including a display having a plurality of reels. A controller controls the display to animate a zone that occupies a subset of the reels, and selects symbols for the zone and the rest of the reels from a first set of symbols including zone symbols, and a second set of symbols both zone symbols and gem symbols, respectively. The first and second symbol sets associated with the reels are shuffled from a current instance to a subsequent instance for a balanced symbol selection. For the current instance, assigned values of zone symbols selected for the zone are collected, but only the assigned values of the gem symbols selected for outside the zone are collected. The zone is expanded for the subsequent instance when enough gem symbols selected for outside the zone are collected.

  • Publication number: 20240114430
    Abstract: Multiple communication paths are established for communications between a User Equipment (UE) and a wireless communication network, before switching between those paths is initiated. Signaling that includes an explicit indication that the UE is to switch between the multiple communication paths is transmitted to and received by at least the UE for which the multiple communication paths were established. Responsive to the explicit indication, communications are switched between the communication paths. At least one of the communication paths includes a relay path between the UE and the wireless communication network through another UE. Establishment of the multiple paths in advance of the switching may be useful in enabling fast switching with low latency and/or no traffic loss.
