Abstract: Systems and methods for producing artificial blood vessels. In certain embodiments, the method for producing blood vessels includes printing an elastic outer layer and removing polyvinyl alcohol component from the elastic outer layer. The process then involves forming a first inner layer of smooth muscle cells, wherein the smooth muscle cells are mixed with 5 fibrinogen solution and extruded with thrombin to form a smooth muscle cell gel, and forming a second inner layer of endothelial cells, wherein the endothelial cells are mixed with fibrinogen solution and extruded with thrombin to form an endothelial cell gel.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for multi-RAT and DSDA capable wireless devices to handle frame blanking in a wireless communication system. A wireless device may establish wireless links according to a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology. The wireless device may determine to perform transmit and receive blanking for one or more antennas of the wireless device for the first radio access technology to perform sounding reference signal transmissions for the second radio access technology based at least in part on a band combination for the wireless links. The wireless device may determine a modification to channel state feedback reporting for the first radio access technology based at least in part on the transmit and receive blanking. The wireless device may perform channel state feedback reporting using the determined modification.

Abstract: The techniques provide solutions for a user equipment (UE) and base station to switch between T1R4 and 2T4R for sounding reference signals (SRS). The UE and base station may communicate SRS using 2T4R. The UE and/or base station may detect and evaluate a signal quality trigger and/or condition relating to switching from T2R4 to T1R4. The trigger and/or condition may correspond to a channel or radio frequency (RF) quality, conflicting or problematic band combinations used in a non-standalone (NSA) scenario, whether dedicated data subscription (DDS) subscriber identity module (SIM) or non-DDS SIM is being used in a dual SIM dual active (DSDA) scenario, etc. The UE and base station may either continue using T2R4 communications or switch to T1R4 communications based on the trigger and/or evaluation.

Abstract: Some aspects relate to apparatuses and methods for calculating an uplink pathloss in a wireless communication system. A user equipment (UE) can be configured to perform operations for calculating the uplink pathloss. The operations can include determining a transmission power of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission for a UE, TxpPUSCH, where the PUSCH transmission is from the UE to a base station. The operations can further include determining a receiving power of a sounding reference signal (SRS) by the base station, Rxpsrs; and further calculating the uplink pathloss based on the transmission power of the PUSCH transmission TxpPUSCH and the receiving power of the SRS Rxpsrs.

Abstract: A terminal may include configured to receive, from a network, multiple downlink signals. The terminal may include a processor configured to identify, from the downlink signals, at least one configuration parameter including a bandwidth part switching indicator. The processor may then identify at least one resource from a target bandwidth part indicated by the bandwidth part switching indicator. The processor may then determine a bandwidth part mismatch based on whether a signal is received using the at least one resource from the target bandwidth part.

Abstract: Systems and methods related to “on/off” determinations regarding the performance of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring during connected mode discontinuous reception (CDRX) on duration windows are disclosed herein. In some cases, a radio access network (RAN) predicts whether a downlink (DL) packet for a UE will arrive at a buffer of the RAN prior to an end of a CDRX on duration window of the UE, and sends a downlink control information (DCI) with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a power-saving radio network temporary identifier (PS-RNTI) (DCP) for the CDRX on duration window indicating whether or not the UE should perform PDCCH monitoring during the CDRX on duration window based on the prediction. In some cases, a UE determines a current state of DL traffic and adaptively uses DCP monitoring based on the current state of the traffic. Aggregation level adaptation by the RAN is also discussed.
