  • Publication number: 20210377766
    Abstract: A method of wireless communication receives multiple beams from a base station. The method also simultaneously reports a signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) for multiple beams with a single channel measurement resource (CMR) and a single interference measurement resource (IMR). The single IMR is configured for multiple interference sources. A method of wireless communication by a base station configures a UE with a group of interference sources. The base station also configures the UE with an interference measurement resource associated with the group of interference sources.

  • Patent number: 11182678
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating a pattern program using a genetic algorithm. The genetic algorithm operates on example data strings that represent the data categories to be recognized or extracted through named entity recognition. In the initialization stage, the initial pattern programs are generated based on example data strings that represent the data categories to be recognized or extracted through named entity recognition. Starting from the initial pattern programs, genetic operations are iteratively conducted to generate generations of offspring pattern programs. In each round of the genetic operation, offspring pattern programs are generated through the crossover operation and the mutation operation.

  • Patent number: 11184121
    Abstract: Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes, indicators, and similar methods may be used improve new radio performance in a number of ways. For example HARQ processes may be retransmitted, even before a response is expected, a number of times. Separate acknowledgement may be provided for various code blocks within a single transport block. Multi-bit ACK/NACK signaling may be used to efficiently express the status of individual code blocks or groups of code blocks within a transmission block. Grantless transmissions may be acknowledged implicitly, e.g., via responses comprising downlink control information or sent via a physical hybrid automatic repeat request indicator channel.

    Abstract: A condensation tray for condensing tankless water heaters is disclosed. The tray can include a plurality of peaks and valleys. The peaks can divert condensate runoff from a secondary heat exchanger into the valleys so as to prevent the condensate from falling on a primary heat exchanger. The tray includes gas apertures that enable combustion gases to pass through the tray and across the secondary heat exchanger. Overhangs on the peaks can prevent the condensate from draining through the gas apertures.

  • Publication number: 20210360595
    Abstract: New radio download numerology allocation information may be obtained through master information block data, system information block data, radio resource control signals, or signals or a physical downlink numerology indication channel, and used along with a reference signal detected in a search space to obtain resource element positions in an antenna port reference signal in a resource block that belongs to a particular band slice according to a reference signal allocation scheme for a band slice numerology. A physical download control may then be decoded based upon one or more resource elements of the reference signal, allowing the connection of, e.g., an enhanced mobile broadband, massive machine type communication, or ultra-reliable/low-latency application to a communications network thereby. Alternatively, multiple physical downlink control channels may be blindly demodulated at each of a number calculated reference signal locations, and one channel selected based on passing a cyclic redundancy check.

The first wireless device resolves the conflict between the configured transmit beam and the configured receive beam. Similarly, a second wireless device configures a configuration for a self-interference measurement for a first wireless device. The second wireless device determines whether a conflict is present between a configured transmit beam and a configured receive beam of the configuration. The second wireless device resolves the conflict between the configured transmit beam and the configured receive beam.

  • Patent number: 11178246
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments disclose techniques for managing cloud-based storage using a time-series database. A distributed cloud data management system (DCDMS) manages objects stored in a cloud storage system. The DCDMS leverages a distributed time-series database to track objects accessed via the DCDMS. During operation, the DCDMS receives a request to access an object using a path identifier and an object identifier. The DCDMS determines from the path identifier that the request is associated with one of its supported extended capabilities, and uses the previously tracked object operations that are stored in the time-series database to determine the actual target bucket in the cloud storage system that contains the requested object; the target bucket that contains the object may be different from the bucket identified in the path identifier that is received. The object identifier is then used to access the requested object from the target bucket to service the request.
