Abstract: A method in a User Equipment (UE) configured with Discontinuous Reception (DRX) and a method in a network node for Downlink (DL) scheduling of the UE. The UE is further configured with Semi Persistent Scheduling (SPS) which reduces the latency in Uplink (UL) transmission. The network node monitors a receipt of UL data in any of the SPS resources granted to the UE, a Wake-up grant or assignment is sent on the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and a HARQ-information is sent in response to the received UL data. The Wake-up grant/assignment triggers a drx-Inactivity timer to run in the UE. While the UE is DRX active, the network node may schedule a DL data transmission and send a DL assignment and the DL data to the UE.

Abstract: A trailer braking system having a surge component used in combination with an electric over hydraulic brake system. The surge component includes a sliding member with a magnetic sensor for detecting trailer deceleration, the sliding member providing an initial pressurization of the hydraulic system. A trailer mounted electrical circuit detects when the tow vehicle brakes are applied and includes a microcontroller for detecting the speed of deceleration provided by the magnetic sensor.

Abstract: Systems and methods for applying k-anonymity to data from a database are provided. An initial extraction of data from a database is performed. Initial anonymized data is produced based on the extracted data and a configuration of quasi-identifiers. An actual k-anonymity level is calculated based on the initial anonymized data. The actual k-anonymity level is compared to a desired k-anonymity level. The configuration of quasi-identifiers is adjusted based on the comparison. The calculating, comparing, and adjusting are iteratively repeated until the actual k-anonymity level equals the desired k-anonymity level or the adjusted configuration of quasi-identifiers has reached a limit. Final anonymized data is produced based on the adjusted configuration of quasi-identifiers. A subsequent extraction of data from the database is performed. Subsequent anonymized data is produced based on the extracted subsequent data and the adjusted configuration of quasi-identifiers.

Abstract: A second device that is in communication with a first device receives transmissions of the first device and detects a SILENCE period status of the first device, which corresponds to a status wherein the first device has no speech samples to be transmitted towards the second apparatus. The second device determines the type of the received transmissions, counts the number of received transmissions of a first type, and times a time interval between the last received transmission of the first type and the last received transmission of a second determined type. At reception of a transmission of the first type, the second device detects whether the first device is in the SILENCE period status on an evaluation of the counted number of transmissions of the first type and the time interval of the last received transmission of the first type and the last received transmission of the second type.

The network node assigns the SPS interval to the wireless device based on the criterion.

Abstract: A method performed by a network node for deciding whether or not to trigger short Semi Persistent Scheduling (SPS) reactivation of a short SPS activated User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network is provided. The network node receives (201) Uplink, UL, data from the UE over a radio resource. The radio resource comprises any one out of: an SPS resource and a dynamically granted resource. The network node determines (202) a difference of signal quality of the radio resource used for the received UL data compared to a previous signal quality calculated when last of any one out of: reactivation and reactivation of short SPS was triggered. The network node then decides (208) whether or not to trigger short SPS reactivation of the UE based on the determined difference of the signal quality.

Abstract: A second device that is in communication with a first device receives transmissions of the first device and detects a SILENCE period status of the first device, which corresponds to a status wherein the first device has no speech samples to be transmitted towards the second apparatus. The second device determines the type of the received transmissions, counts the number of received transmissions of a first type, and times a time interval between the last received transmission of the first type and the last received transmission of a second determined type. At reception of a transmission of the first type, the second device detects whether the first device is in the SILENCE period status on an evaluation of the counted number of transmissions of the first type and the time interval of the last received transmission of the first type and the last received transmission of the second type.
