  • Publication number: 20230180243
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting uplink control information and a communication system. The method includes a terminal equipment transmits uplink control information, the uplink control information being related to at least two TRPs. The uplink control information is transmitted in a manner of spatial diversity. At the terminal side, the same data may reach a network side via different spatial domain paths or via different TRPs (transmission and reception points). In a case where blockage occurs in a path, other paths may still continue to operate, thereby ensuring high reliability of the uplink control information. The number of retransmissions of the uplink control information may be avoided or reduced, thereby lowering transmission latency of uplink data.

  • Patent number: 11671573
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a computer-implemented method that includes using a reinforcement learning (RL) system to generate a first set of displayed region candidates based on inputs received from online users while watching video. A recommendation system is used to rank the first set of displayed region candidates based on inputs received from a local user watching video. The recommendation system is further used to select a first highest ranked one of the first set of displayed region candidates. Based on the first highest ranked one of the first set of displayed region candidates, a first section of a first raw video frame is fetched that matches the first highest ranked one of the first set of displayed candidate regions, wherein the first section of the first raw video frame includes a first predicted display region of the video frame.
