Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling from a base station that indicates a multicast or broadcast wake up signal (WUS) format. The UE may receive a multicast or broadcast WUS from the base station during a WUS monitoring occasion of a connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) cycle in accordance with the control signaling. The multicast or broadcast WUS may indicate upcoming transmissions for a set of multicast or broadcast services (MBSs). If, for example, the UE is subscribed to a first MBS from the set of MBSs and the multicast or broadcast WUS indicates an upcoming transmission for the first MBS, the UE may monitor for the upcoming transmission during an active duration of the C-DRX cycle. Otherwise, the UE may enter a sleep mode to conserve power.

Abstract: A system for location-aware authentication is configured to receive an authentication request associated with an identifier of a user for accessing an application and retrieves user information associated with the identifier and the application. The system then determines that the user information includes a geofence and information associated with a device of the user. Based on the geofence and the device information, the system sends a geolocation data request to the device, causing the device to gather and send the device's current geolocation data to the computing system. A data structure is generated to store data related to the device's current geolocation and sent to the application, which in turn causes the application to grant or deny the authentication request.

Abstract: A method for determining sand pumping parameters based on width distribution of fracture, including: acquire basic parameters of a target reservoir, simulate a propagation of the fracture, and obtain a propagation pattern and width distribution of the fracture; determine a maximum proppant particle size for entering the fracture at all width levels according to statistical results of the width distribution of the fracture; determine a multi-size combination of proppants according to a mapping table for particle size vs mesh of proppants, and determine an initial ratio of the proppant with each particle size; conduct a numerical simulation of proppant transportation in the fracture to determine a retention ratio of the proppants with each particle size; correct the initial ratio of the proppants with each particle size; calculate an amount of the proppants with each particle size according to the final ratio and the sand pumping intensity and fracturing interval length.

Abstract: User authentication techniques that use a companion device associated with a mobile computing device are described. The companion device receives a user authentication request from a user authentication service via the mobile computing device, displays information related to the user authentication request, receives an approval of the user authentication request, and transmits the approval of the user authentication request to the service via the mobile computing device. In one embodiment, after transmitting the approval, the companion device receives a token from the mobile computing device that includes a value obtained from the service, signs the token with a private key of a securely-stored signing key pair and provides the signed token to the service via the mobile computing device. In another embodiment, after the companion device transmits the approval to the mobile computing device, the mobile computing device provides a personal identification code from secure storage to the service.
