  • Publication number: 20230397262
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some wireless communications systems may support priority based conflict resolution in full-duplex operations. In some cases, a wireless device may communicate one or more control messages scheduling a first message associated with a first transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state and scheduling a second message associated with a second TCI state, where at least a portion of the first message overlaps in time with the second message. In some cases, the wireless device may perform a conflict resolution procedure for the first message and the second message based on the first message at least partially overlapping in time with the second message and a conflict between the first TCI state and the second TCI state. Additionally, the wireless device may communicate at least the first message based on the conflict resolution procedure.

  • Publication number: 20230397111
    Abstract: In an aspect, a BS transmits a WUS that includes an indication of selected PCIs of a PCI group to a UE. The UE receives the WAS and monitors one or more configured DRX ON durations associated with the selected PCIs of the PCI group. In another aspect, a BS transmits a signal that includes dormancy status information for a set of selected PCIs to a UE. For each PCI in the set of selected PCIs indicated by the dormancy status information as associated with a dormant state, the UE refrains from PDCCH monitoring on a dormant BWP to which the respective PCI transitions. For each PCI in the set of selected PCIs indicated by the dormancy status information as associated with a non-dormant state, the UE performs PDCCH monitoring on a non-dormant BWP to which the respective PCI transitions.

  • Patent number: 11838937
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive downlink control information (DCI) that schedules an aperiodic channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) report. The UE may determine, based at least in part on the DCI, a time duration between an end of the DCI and a start of a communication on a physical uplink shared channel that includes the aperiodic CSI-RS report. The time duration may be based at least in part on an aperiodic CSI beam switch latency threshold. The UE may generate the aperiodic CSI-RS report based at least in part on a CSI-RS measurement. The UE may transmit the aperiodic CSI-RS report based at least in part on the DCI associated with the time duration. Numerous other aspects are provided.

  • Publication number: 20230382645
    Abstract: An item sorting system includes a control server, a first robot, and a second robot, which respectively communicate with the control server and run in a storage area of the item sorting system. The storage area is deployed with at least one item-collecting container, each including at least two sub-compartments. The control server determines a target sub-compartment of the item-collecting container, and sends a sorting instruction to the first robot. The control server sends a transport instruction to the second robot when the target sub-compartment is a first sub-compartment of a first item-collecting container and items accommodated in the first sub-compartment reach a first preset threshold. The first robot delivers an item to the first sub-compartment in response to the sorting instruction. The second robot travels to a position of the first item-collecting container and transports the first item-collecting container to a packaging station in response to the transport instruction.

  • Patent number: 11832330
    Abstract: A beam failure in a full-duplex communication scenario may be detected based on a reference signal measurement. For example, a user equipment (UE) may measure a downlink reference signal transmitted by a base station and/or an uplink reference signal transmitted by the UE and derive a quality parameter based on one or both of these measurements. If the quality parameter indicates a beam failure, the UE may generate an indication that one or more of the beams monitored by the UE have failed.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for configuring timing advances for uplink communications resources. A method for wireless communications by a user equipment includes receiving, from a base station, signaling that configures a first timing advance and a second timing advance. The first timing advance is configured to be used by the user equipment when transmitting an uplink communication in a half-duplex resource, and the second timing advance is configured to be used by the user equipment when transmitting an uplink communication in a full-duplex resource. The method may further include transmitting, to the base station, a first uplink communication within a first resource using one of the first timing advance or the second timing advance based on whether the first resource comprises a half-duplex resource or a full duplex resource.

  • Patent number: 11827878
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses construction of recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae for synthesizing carminic acid and application thereof and belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering and bioengineering. The disclosure obtains recombinant S. cerevisiae CA-B2 capable of synthesizing carminic acid by heterologously expressing cyclase Zhul, aromatase ZhuJ, OKS of Octaketide synthase 1, C-glucosyltransferase UGT2, monooxygenase aptC and 4?-phosphopantetheinyl transferase npgA in S. cerevisiae. The recombinant S. cerevisiae can be used for synthesizing carminic acid by taking self-synthesized acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA as a precursor. On this basis, OKS, cyclase, aromatase, C-glucosyltransferase and monooxygenase relevant to carminic acid are integrated to a high copy site, which can remarkably improve the yield of carminic acid. The yield of carminic acid can be increased to 2664.6 ?g/L by optimizing fermentation conditions, and the fermentation time is shortened significantly.

  • Publication number: 20230379956
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Two network entities may experience coexistence interference due to operating on a same channel or adjacent channels based on at least one of the network entities operating in a full-duplex mode. A first network entity may indicate, to the half-duplex network entity, an interference mitigation action to be performed for a duration of transmission time intervals. The interference mitigation action may include adjusting the power of downlink communications from the one of the network entities which overlap in bandwidth with uplink communications at the full-duplex network entity, muting a subband for a downlink communication, or configuring a larger guard band between operating channels.
