  • Publication number: 20230168901
    Abstract: In an example, a computing device includes a non-volatile storage device to store a basic input/output system (BIOS) variable. Further, the computing device includes a BIOS. During a boot process of the computing devices, the BIOS may read the BIOS variable from the non-volatile storage device. Further, the BIOS may detect that an application is to be deployed in the computing device based on the BIOS variable. Furthermore, the BIOS may load an application package from the non-volatile storage device into a volatile storage device and build an advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) data structure with the application package loaded in the volatile storage device. Further, the BIOS may deploy the application using the ACPI data structure.

  • Publication number: 20230136875
    Abstract: A method executed by a relay UE is provided. The relay UE establishes a first Radio Link Control (RLC) channel between a first remote UE and the relay UE, in which the first RLC channel is associated with a first end-to-end identifier. The relay UE establishes a second RLC channel between a second remote UE and the relay UE, in which the second RLC channel is associated with the first end-to-end identifier or a second end-to-end identifier. The relay UE receives an incoming SideLink (SL) transmission from the first remote UE on the first RLC channel, in which the incoming SL transmission includes the first end-to-end identifier. The relay UE sends an outgoing SL transmission to the second remote UE on the second RLC channel, in which the outgoing SL transmission includes one of the first end-to-end identifier and the second end-to-end identifier.

  • Publication number: 20230081802
    Abstract: A system and method of communicating sounding reference signals (SRSs) in a cellular time division duplex (TDD) mmWave system. A transmission point (TP) may transmit beamformed reference signals to a user equipment (UE), each of the beamformed reference signals having been transmitted according to a beam direction in a set of beam directions available to the TP. The TP may receive a feedback message from the UE that identifies one of the beamformed reference signals transmitted to the UE. The TP may select, from the set of beam directions available to the TP, a subset of beam directions for SRS reception based on the feedback message received from the UE, and receive uplink SRS signals according to beam directions in the subset of beam directions. The set of beam directions available to the TP includes at least one beam direction that is excluded from the subset of beam directions.

  • Publication number: 20230084017
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for sidelink relay-based UE-to-network communication. In one novel aspect, the relay UE performs delayed relay forwarding upon determining the remote UE is in the DRX cycle based on the PC5 configuration. The relay UE buffers the relay traffic and/or sends a suspending indication to the base station to request the base station to suspend the relay traffic to the remote UE. In another novel aspect, the relay UE monitors paging occasions configured for itself and receives paging message from the network intended for the remote UE in one non-connected RRC state. The relay UE sends a PC5 paging message to the remote UE that is in the non-connected RRC state through the established SL based on the received paging message. In one embodiment, the network stores the SL association between the relay UE and the remote UE to the network.

  • Publication number: 20230041659
    Abstract: A method is provided to support remote UE transmitting recommended bit rate query to the base station via the processing of relay UE. In one novel aspect, a new sidelink MAC CE is introduced to indicate the desired bit rate for a specific sidelink logical channel or for a specific Uu/SL radio bearer. In one novel aspect, after receiving the recommended bit rate query MAC CE, the relay UE forwards the MAC CE of this remote UE to the base station over Uu interface after adding information related to remote UE identity. In one novel aspect, the recommended bit rate query MAC CE, when received by the relay UE, is mapped to a specific uplink logical channel priority value or a specific uplink logical channel priority level, which can be used to compare priority with other UL data or UL MAC CE.

  • Publication number: 20230044563
    Abstract: An automated mushroom harvesting system for mounting to a vertical mushroom rack comprises a robot having a frame mounted to a vertical carriage assembly. A SCARA arm is slidably mounted to the vertical carriage assembly by a vertical stage, operable to move the SCARA arm along a vertical mast. The SCARA arm moves the end effector in a horizontal plane for harvesting mushrooms, above the surface of the mushroom bed and into and out of the confines of the mushroom rack, and the vertical stage moves the SCARA arm in a vertical direction so as to access the mushrooms in a bed and to access mushroom beds on different levels of the vertical mushroom rack. An end effector having a helically reinforced neck and a graduated elasticity modulus, with a lower elasticity modulus in the neck and a higher elasticity in the cup, is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20230033454
    Abstract: Signalling and protocol methods are proposed to allow positioning operations with signals of the cellular system for a UE in idle or inactive mode. In one novel aspect, UL-PRS is embedded in the RACH procedure: a set of RACH preambles with the functionality of UL-PRS are defined. These preambles are sent by the UE to the serving gNB to initiate a RACH procedure, and the following signalling could convey the measurement results. In another novel aspect, positioning operations on the network side are triggered through an AMF. The AMF may elect not to bring the UE to connected mode before transferring the location request to an LMF; instead, the AMF may indicate that the UE is in idle mode and it expects to page the UE with a subsequent message from the LMF.
