Abstract: A method performed by a wireless communications device for measurement reporting. The measurement reporting comprises reporting measurements associated with a first wireless communications network to a network node operating in a second wireless communications network. The first wireless communications network operates according to a first RAT, and the second wireless communications network operates according to a second RAT. The wireless communications device obtains (401), from the network node, an identifier of one or more radio access network nodes operating in the first wireless communications network. The obtained identifier restricts a mobility of the wireless communications device in the first wireless communications network to the one or more radio access network nodes identified by the identifier. The wireless communications device excludes (402) from measurement reporting to the network node at least one of the identified radio access network nodes.

Abstract: In some aspects, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for handling RLC failures in PDCP duplication where there are two logical channels on which a PDCP entity can send packets. In some aspects, the radio network node may determine a mapping between the primary and secondary logical channels and serving cells, and how this mapping can be configured for the wireless device.

Abstract: The virtual broadcast system of the present invention optimizes the routing of digital content among nodes along overlay networks that are dynamically reconfigured based upon forecasts of frequently-changing congestion levels of component interconnections within an underlying network. In the context of delivering streaming video over the Internet to large numbers of concurrent users, the present invention makes efficient use of the limited capacity of congested ASN peering points by employing deep learning techniques to forecast congestion levels across those ASN peering points and, based on those forecasts, to optimize the routing of video content along dynamically reconfigured overlay networks. The virtual broadcast system handles unscheduled as well as scheduled events, streams live as well as pre-recorded events, and streams those events in real time with minimal delay in a highly scalable fashion that maintains a consistent QoE among large numbers of concurrent viewers.

The present disclosure relates, in particular, to live streaming of media for low-latency applications such as gaming applications (e.g., live casino gaming applications). The disclosure, among other things, describes a method of live streaming of media for low-latency applications, wherein the media streams are broadcasted (220) from a first device (e.g., a Media Streaming Provider Server System (140)) to one or several second devices (e.g., user game devices (110) for use in a live casino gaming application) over a WebRTC data channel.

Abstract: In one aspect, a wireless device (50) configured for multi-carrier operation in a wireless communication network performs (702) measurements on one or more cells and/or beams and/or carriers, while in idle mode or in an inactive state. The wireless device determines (704) information for assisting an establishment of multi-carrier operation, based on the measurements, and transmits (706) the information to the wireless communication network. A network node receives this information for the cells/PERFORM beams/carriers and selects, based on the received information, one or more cells/beams/carriers for multi-carrier operation with the wireless device. The network node establishes multi-carrier operation for the wireless device using the selected cells/beams/or carriers.

Abstract: A system for generating short-, medium, long-range and specific area and effect weather or climate forecasts by training a cluster of Al to “understand” the physics that effects the weather and running the clusters on a decentralized computing system or network. Individual modules for specific knowledge of different climate-variability phenomena can be integrated and interrogated to calculate the forecast based on a consensus of future predictions based on a subset of the clusters. The selection criteria determining which modules are deemed to fit may be adjusted to optimize the use of observations in forecasting specific climate variables or geographic regions in order to develop forecasts tailored to particular applications.

Abstract: A wireless communication device (12) served by a wireless wide area network (WWAN) base station supports per-bearer switching of bearer traffic between the WWAN and a wireless local area network (WLAN) in a manner transparent to the WLAN.

Abstract: A multi-motor switching system and method for obtaining a global optimization of performance criteria that takes into account variables and conditions across an entire driving cycle. The controller of the system is adapted to conduct a global optimization in that it determines the most optimal distribution of motor loads over an entire trip or driving cycle, as opposed to sequentially determining the optimized solution for a given point of time and localized set of current condition. In one embodiment where the control system provides for global optimization, the controller receives trip information through a trip planning tool. The controller utilizes the trip information to generate a driving cycle and further incorporates this information into the optimization process performed by the controller to determine the optimal solution for the entire trip.
