  • Patent number: 11956373
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for provisioning identity credentials based on interactions with verified or trusted users. One exemplary computer-implemented method includes receiving a request for a digital identity from a user, where the request includes identifying information for the user and a verified user identifier, and transmitting, to a verified user associated with the verified user identifier, an attestation request for the user. The method also includes receiving, from the verified user, an attestation in response to the attestation request with regard to at least some of the identifying information for the user, generating a digital identity for the user based on a number of attestations of the identifying information for the user, and sharing a digital identity notice with the user including an identifier for the user, whereby the user is permitted to share the digital identity with a relying party via the identifier.

  • Patent number: 11942983
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for managing a bandwidth of a user equipment (UE). The UE has a narrower bandwidth part (NBWP) that follows a NBWP hopping pattern and allows the UE to hop frequency over time within a larger bandwidth. The UE receives a configuration of one or more NBWP hopping patterns for one or more configured NBWPs, each configured NBWP having a bandwidth less than or equal to a maximum configurable bandwidth of a bandwidth part. The UE determines an active NBWP hopping pattern for an active NBWP of the one or more configured NBWPs. The UE communicates on frequency domain resources for a frequency domain hop indicated by the active NBWP hopping pattern applied to the active NBWP. The UE may receive an indication of whether to switch the active NBWP hopping pattern.

  • Publication number: 20240040446
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The network may configure a user equipment (UE) with measurement objects indicating the synchronization signal blocks (SSB)s to be measured for neighbor cells. A UE may receive control signaling from the network indicating a switch from a first bandwidth part (BWP) to a second BWP. The first BWP may be associated with a first cell measurement type for neighbor cells (e.g., inter-frequency or intra-frequency) and a first reference SSB. The second BWP may be associated with a second, different, cell measurement type for neighbor cells and a second, different, reference SSB. After the BWP switch, the UE may perform measurements on SSBs associated with neighbor cells based on the second cell measurement type.

  • Patent number: 11888847
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for context-based authentication, via a decentralized network. One example method includes receiving, at a mobile device, from a relying party, a request for an attribute of a user in connection with an interaction between the user and the relying party and determining a type of authentication to be used for the interaction, based on an authentication policy of the relying party and multiple context signals stored in the mobile device prior to providing the attribute to the relying party. The multiple context signals are indicative of one or more patterns indicative of the user and/or the mobile device. The method also includes soliciting authentication data from the user consistent with the determined type of authentication, receiving, by the mobile device, the solicited authentication from the user, and providing the attribute to the relying party in response to the user being authenticated at the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 11869127
    Abstract: A computer-implemented image manipulation apparatus and method (200) configured to receiving an input image (202) and a desired style. The method can obtain a representation (204) of the input image selected from a plurality of stored representations of a plurality of images, wherein each said representation comprises data describing a set of image features. The method can modify image features in the obtained representation to correspond to the input image and/or the desired style to produce a modified representation (207), and render a reference image (209) based on the modified representation. A manipulated image is generated by performing a style transfer operation (210) on the input image using the rendered reference image. Embodiments may access a data store to find a group of stored images based on similarity between image content descriptors of groups of stored images and those of an input image to retrieve a stored reference image.

  • Publication number: 20230354225
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A synchronization signal block (SSB) may be dynamically scheduled within an operating bandwidth of a user equipment (UE), where the operating bandwidth of the UE is outside of a frequency resource in which a cell defining SSB (CD-SSB) is scheduled. For example, a UE may operate in a reduced capability mode or an enhanced reduced capability mode where the UE may operate in a narrower bandwidth than the serving cell bandwidth. Control signaling may dynamically configure an SSB for the UE within the operating bandwidth of the UE. The UE may monitor for the non-cell defining SSB (NCD-SSB) and skip monitoring for the CD-SSB based on the dynamically configured NCD-SSB. For example, a reduced capability UE or an enhanced reduced capability UE may monitor for the NCD-SSB without performing RF retuning between receiving the control signaling and monitoring for the NCD-SSB.

  • Publication number: 20230354390
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit an indication of a capability of the UE to support a restricted bandwidth for data signaling. The UE may receive an indication of a bandwidth part for control signaling and an indication of a set of frequency domain resources for the data signaling. The set of frequency domain resources may correspond to a subset of the bandwidth part in accordance with the restricted bandwidth. The UE may communicate the control signaling over the bandwidth part and data signaling over the set of frequency domain resources. In some cases, the bandwidth restriction may correspond to a bandwidth size for the set of frequency domain resources or a number of resource blocks in the set of frequency domain resources.
