Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. One method for coverage enhancement may include a base station transmitting control signaling to one or more user equipments (UEs) using a same beam configuration to perform a coverage enhancement procedure for uplink transmissions. In response, one or more UEs may determine one or more transmission parameters for uplink transmission based on the coverage enhancement procedure. In some cases, the coverage enhancement procedure may include the UEs transmitting additional repetitions of an uplink transmission, using additional time or frequency resources, or any combination thereof. In some cases, the UEs may use different coverage enhancement procedures. Accordingly, the one or more UEs may transmit an uplink transmission based on the one or more transmission parameters.

Abstract: Provided is a method for laser additive manufacturing based on keyhole effects. A welding wire and a laser beam are arranged, at certain angles, on two sides of a normal line of a substrate respectively. The laser beam is applied on the welding wire to generate a deep penetration melting keyhole.

The welding wire transmits energy to a surface of the substrate to form a cladding layer. The laser beam irradiates the surface of the substrate after passing through the welding wire, and preheats the surface of the substrate in a heat conduction mode.
