The method also includes skipping at least one future SPS occasion based on the in-band skipping indication. A method for wireless communication, by a network device includes transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a semi persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration. The method further includes transmitting, to the UE, an in-band skipping indication on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) during an SPS occasion of the SPS configuration to enable the UE to skip at least one future SPS occasion.

Abstract: Some techniques described herein provide identification of a throughput estimate using a throughput estimation technique that is selected in accordance with an adjustable threshold. For example, the adjustable threshold may be based at least in part on a scheduling rate of a user equipment. In some aspects, the threshold may be adjustable based at least in part on a scheduling rate and a moving average derived from the scheduling rate. For example, the threshold may change over time based at least in part on a moving average derived from a past value of the scheduling rate and/or a current value of the scheduling rate. Thus, the threshold may decrease over time when the scheduling rate is relatively low (e.g., lower than the threshold), and may increase over time when the scheduling rate is relatively high (e.g., higher than the threshold).

Abstract: Various aspects of a system and method for providing a smart calling platform (104) for managing sales leads, are disclosed herein. The method includes uploading, on a smart calling platform (104), a list having details of the executives enrolled with the business owner (102) with the intent of offering services on the smart calling platform (104). A unique identification is allocated to each of the executives for providing authenticated access of the platform. One or more potential customers (114) are allocated to each of the executives based on AI based correlation between business data associated with each of the one or more customers (114) and profile data of each of the executives. Generation of sales leads by each executive is monitored, and business transaction associated with the generated sales leads is managed based on the monitoring by storing the generated sales leads and tracking maturity thereof using a maturity score.

One or more messages provided in a location session by a location server to a user equipment (UE) may include a session indication, such as a session identifier (ID), where a different session ID is provided for each location session. The session indication may be a new session indicator provided in an initial message in a location session or an end session indicator provided in a final message in a location session. An extra message may be sent by the location server indicating that the location session has ended. A correlation ID provided by a network entity to the location server may be included in messages as the session indication, e.g., where a different correlation ID is provided for each location session.

Abstract: In some implementations, a first network device that hosts a bridge domain (BD) may receive inter-subnet multicast traffic associated with the BD. The BD may forward, using a supplemental bridge domain (SBD) interface of the first network device, and via an SBD, a first copy of the inter-subnet multicast traffic to a second network device that hosts the BD. The first network device may forward, using the SBD interface and via the SBD, a second copy of the inter-subnet multicast traffic to a third network device that does not host the BD. The first network device may forward, using an integrated routing and bridging (IRB) interface of the first network device associated with the BD, a third copy of the inter-subnet multicast traffic to a fourth network device that hosts the BD (e.g., when the fourth network device is a multihoming peer of the first network device).

Abstract: When generating a graphics processing output by assembling a sequence of one or more of primitives to be processed, vertex attribute processing is performed for vertices of assembled primitives to generate one or more processed vertex attributes for vertices of the assembled primitives. Processed vertex attributes for vertices of assembled primitives are stored in a first storage, and additionally in a second storage. Then when obtaining processed vertex attributes for an assembled primitive, it is checked whether processed vertex attributes for the vertices of the primitive are present in the second storage, and when they are, the processed vertex attributes are read from the second storage, but when the processed vertex attributes are not in the second storage, they are read from the first storage instead.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a file migration process for moving a plurality of files from a first group of servers to a second group of servers in near real-time. The file migration process automatically and dynamically identifies each file on the first group of servers at the appropriate time and location and moves each file to a corresponding file at the second group of servers. The file migration process is initiated by obtaining several input parameters and is able to adjust to environmental changes, where the process can handle different possible scenarios. The file migration process may be partitioned into a dynamic file identification engine (module) and one or more near real-time file transfer modules that may be executed on one of the servers in the first group of servers.

Abstract: A technique utilizes grafting and differential based (diff-based) data seeding to hydrate a special virtual disk (vdisk) on a multi-node cluster with data changes (differences) between a reference vdisk stored on the cluster and a snapshot stored in an external repository to enable failover (including failback) recovery of an application workload in a disaster recovery environment. The application workload is stored as a workload vdisk on local storage of the cluster and snapshots of the workload vdisk are generated and organized as a vdisk chain on the cluster. One or more snapshots of the vdisk chain may be replicated to the external repository using a long-term snapshot service. Each replicated snapshot may be backed up from the cluster to the external repository at the granularity of a vdisk, referred to herein as an external datasource disk. The special vdisk is a thinly provisioned, datasource-backed vdisk that is grafted onto the vdisk chain, e.g., as a child vdisk of the reference vdisk.
