Abstract: A VVC-standard encoder and a VVC-standard decoder are provided, implementing a decoder-side chroma intra prediction mode gradient-based derivation method, which improves coding efficiency of chroma intra prediction, thereby saving on signaling cost. A VVC-standard decoder configures one or more processors of a computing system to derive one of multiple possible chroma intra prediction modes by computing gradients of adjacent luma samples and chroma samples of a current chroma block. With minimal increase in signaling cost, the VVC-standard coding and decoding processes are enhanced to base intra prediction modes for chroma blocks on collocated luma block-adjacent reconstructed luma samples adjacent reconstructed chroma samples, enabling prior computational work done on coding and decoding adjacent blocks to be referenced. In this fashion, coding gains can be achieved in matching texture characteristics of the current chroma block based on a texture gradient including adjacent blocks.

Abstract: Locations and azimuths of cells of a communication network can be estimated, determined, and validated. Cell attribute management component (CAMC) can estimate, determine, and/or validate cell locations based on analysis of timing advance (TA) measurement data and/or location data associated with devices associated with base stations associated with cells. CAMC can estimate azimuth of a cell associated with a base station based on analysis of a validated cell location of the cell and location data associated with devices associated with the cell. CAMC can determine whether a recorded azimuth of the cell is validated based on analysis of the estimated azimuth of the cell and the recorded azimuth of the cell. CAMC can tag the recorded azimuth of the cell as validated if applicable azimuth accuracy criteria is met, inaccurate if applicable azimuth criteria is not met, or omni if the cell is an omni cell.
