  • Publication number: 20210385056
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for configuring multi-beam full-duplex communication that allows a device (e.g., user equipment (UE) or base station) to contemporaneously perform both uplink and downlink communication over the same frequency band. Because of the full duplex communication capability provided by the present disclosure, the NR system may achieve reduced latency and improved spectrum and resource efficiency, thereby accommodating a growing demands for the wireless communication. The full duplex communication capability may be achieved by implementing downlink control information (DCI) format that specifies to the UE the beam assignments for contemporaneous transmission (Tx) and reception (Rx).

  • Patent number: 11196323
    Abstract: Provided are a programmable motor and a household appliance having the same. The programmable motor comprises a main body (21) and a driving device (22) comprising a reprogramming interface. When performing reprogramming on the programmable motor, the reprogramming interface communicates with a programming device to receive a motor parameter or a motor software program, to transmit the same to the driving device (22), and to update the motor parameter or the motor software program in the driving device (22). The method realizes rewriting of a motor software program and realizes reprogramming of a motor by directly inserting a programming device into a reprogramming interface of a driving device (22) without having to disassemble the driving device (22), thereby effectively reducing post-sale costs associated with a motor, and improving post-sale efficiency associated with the motor.

  • 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.
