Abstract: A device may receive a PDCCH signal, may decode encoded bits of the PDCCH signal to generate coded bits, may reencode the coded bits, and may calculate a detection error probability of each coded bit at an output of soft demodulation. The device may calculate a channel decoding error probability that cyclic redundancy check bits are still attached to the coded bits, and may calculate an error probability of channel reencoding, of each coded bit, due to error propagation of polar decoding and reencoding. The device may calculate a probability density of a BMR associated with the coded bits, and may calculate a threshold based on the detection error probability, the channel decoding error probability, the error probability of channel reencoding, and the probability density of a BMR. The device may determine that the PDCCH signal is invalid based on the BMR being greater than the threshold.

Abstract: A device may receive a downlink signal from a base station and may construct a frozen decode matrix for decoding frozen bits from data of the downlink signal. The device may construct a linear feedback shift register (LFSR) generator matrix for a component of scrambling sequence seed bits and may multiply the frozen decode matrix and the LFSR generator matrix to generate a mapping matrix for mapping a value of a scrambling sequence initialization vector that initializes a scrambler to the frozen bits. The device may determine an inverse matrix of the mapping matrix and may multiply the inverse matrix and the frozen decode matrix to obtain a final matrix. The device may utilize the final matrix to recover, from the data of the downlink signal, the scrambling sequence seed bits used to initialize the component and may perform actions based on the scrambling sequence seed bits.

Abstract: In various examples, a trajectory prediction model provides interpretable trajectory predictions for autonomous and semi-autonomous systems and applications via counterfactual game-theoretic reasoning. Model-based latent variables can be formulated through responsibility evaluations. Responsibility can be broken into multiple components, such as safety and courtesy. Responsibility can be quantified, for example, by answering a counterfactual question: could an agent have executed differently to respect other agents' safety and be more courteous to others' plans? The framework can be used to abstract computed responsibility sequences into different responsibility levels and ground latent levels into a trajectory prediction model able to render interpretable and accurate inferences about trajectory.

Abstract: Systems and methods for non-blocking synchronization of secure customer data of an enterprise data storage. A first local data storage is established that can be used offline that includes a subset of secure customer data from the enterprise data storage. A second local data storage is established that includes the subset of secure customer data from the enterprise data storage. A data object record in the second local data storage is modified, and creates an associated entry in a tracking table, wherein entries in the tracking table maintain data object record modifications in the second local data storage. The first local data storage is cloned to create a third local data storage. Each entry in the tracking table is executed to modify the third local data storage. The first local data storage is deleted and the modified third local data storage replaces the deleted first local data storage.

Abstract: In various examples, systems and methods are disclosed relating to refinement of safety zones and improving evaluation metrics for the perception modules of autonomous and semi-autonomous systems. Example implementations can exclude areas in the state space that are not safety critical, while retaining the areas that are safety-critical. This can be accomplished by leveraging ego maneuver information and conditioning safety zone computations on ego maneuvers. A maneuver-based decomposition of perception safety zones may leverage a temporal convolution operation with the capability to account for collision at any intermediate time along the way to maneuver completion. This provides a significant reduction in zone volume while maintaining completeness, thus optimizing or otherwise enhancing obstacle perception performance requirements by filtering out regions of state space not relevant to a system's route of travel.

Abstract: In some implementations, a user equipment (UE) may perform a decoding of downlink control information (DCI) via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on: a detection, by the UE, of a UE-specific scrambling sequence and a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) corresponding to the UE-specific scrambling sequence; and a skipping, by the UE, of a de-scrambling operation prior to the decoding of the DCI, wherein information regarding the UE-specific scrambling sequence and the RNTI is not previously stored by the UE. The UE may refrain from decoding a plurality of possible UE-specific scrambling sequences based on the skipping of the de-scrambling operation prior to the decoding of the DCI.
