Abstract: Techniques for optimizing technologies related to network path tracing and network delay measurements are described herein. Some of the techniques may include using an IPv6 header option and/or segment identifier field of a segment list or a TLV of a segment routing header as a telemetry data carrier.

Additionally, the techniques may include using short interface identifiers corresponding to node interfaces to trace a packet path through a network. Further, the techniques may include using short timestamps to determine delay measurements associated with sending a packet through a network. In various examples, the techniques described above and herein may be used with each other to optimize network path tracing and delay measurement techniques.

Abstract: A first dataset that includes an indication of a plurality of network events associated with a time-period is received. For each time sub-period from a plurality of time sub-periods that together span the time-period and to generate a second dataset, a value for each network event from the plurality of network events that occur within that time sub-period is summed. A discrete Fourier transform is performed based on the second dataset to generate a third dataset that includes an indication of a plurality of frequency ranges and a plurality of magnitude values for the plurality of frequency ranges. Each frequency from the plurality of frequencies ranges is associated with a magnitude value from the plurality of magnitude values. A set of candidate frequencies from the plurality of frequencies determined to potentially cause periodic behavior is identified based on the plurality of frequency ranges and the plurality of magnitude values.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to multilayer laminate compositions including opposing first and second polymeric layers, typically with an intervening gas and/or moisture barrier layer. The first polymeric layer incudes a first polymer, which can be selected based on desired mechanical and/or chemical properties. The second polymeric layer is a heat-sealable analog of the first polymeric layer, and it can include a blend of the first polymer along with a second polymer having a lower melting temperature, or a second polymer that includes monomer units of the first polymer copolymerized with a second monomer to provide a lower melting temperature for the second polymer relative to the first polymer. The improved heat-sealing properties of the second polymeric layer permits convenient packaging of items, and the common polymeric components between the first and second polymeric layers facilitates recycling and reuse of the multilayer laminate composition because of its substantially unimaterial nature.

Abstract: A UE may receive a configuration of one or more SP resources for CLI and/or SI measurement, and receive, from the base station, a MAC-CE activating the configured one or more SP resources for CLI and/or SI measurements. The UE may measure the CLI and/or SI based on interference signal and report a CLI report, including the measured CLI and/or SI to the base station. The UE may estimate average CL based on an average transmission power of the interference signal over multiple slots from an aggressor UE, and the base station may use the estimated average CL to determine CLI for aggressor UE based on CLI reciprocity.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for full-duplex communications in wireless networks. Some implementations more specifically relate to multiple bandwidth parts (BWPs), active concurrently, for communications in a given direction (such as a downlink (DL) direction or an uplink (UL) direction) between a user equipment (UE) and a base station. For example, a first active BWP may be used for DL or UL communications in a half-duplex (HD) slot and a second active BWP may be used for DL or UL communications in an adjacent full-duplex (FD) slot. In some implementations, the UE may further change a status of one or more active BWPs after a given amount of time has elapsed. For example, the UE may change the states of an active BWP by deactivating the active BWP, switching the active BWP to a default BWP, or changing a role assigned to the active BWP.

Abstract: In some examples, the database system maintains metadata for a plurality of data objects, the metadata containing ranges of values of an attribute for the plurality of data objects, where the ranges of values of the attribute comprise a respective range of values of the attribute for each corresponding data object of the plurality of data objects. The database system generates a data structure tracking quantities of ranges of values of the attribute that have a specified relationship with respect to corresponding different values of the attribute. The database system receives a database query comprising a predicate specifying a condition on a given value of the attribute, and computes, for the database query, a selectivity of filtering based on the metadata, the selectivity computed based on the data structure.

In one example, the first slot is a half-duplex slot, the baseline CSI report is a baseline half-duplex CSI report, the second slot is a full-duplex slot, and the differential CSI report is a differential full-duplex CSI report.

Abstract: A sidelink network is disclosed that provides a duplex mode indication as well as a duplex mode switching and coordination for a sidelink network device.

The resulting control of the duplex mode switching reduces blocking and reduces power consumption.

Abstract: A UE may receive DCI from a first TRP scheduling a transmission of a TB from the first TRP and a second TRP. The UE may receive, from the first TRP a first set of CBGs of the TB in a first set of resources. The UE may receive, from the second TRP a second set of CBGs of the TB in a second set of resources that is different than the first set of resources. The first set of CBGs may be received based on a first MCS and the second set of CBGs may be received based on a second MCS. The UE may transmit, in a full-duplex mode, a message to the first TRP. The transmission to the first TRP may overlap in time with the reception from the first TRP. Accordingly, the first MCS may be lower than the second MCS.
