Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for gathering electronic signatures to be applied to collaboration system content objects (e.g., contracts, letters, insurance claims, riders, etc.). A collaboration system monitors changes made to the collaboration system content objects during electronic signature processing. A module of the content management system is configured to associate one or more instances of e-signing metadata to one or more of the stored content objects of the content management system. The e-signing metadata indicates whether or not a particular portion of the one or more of the stored content objects has been e-signed by a designated e-signatory. A collaborator who is not one of the designated e-signatories makes a change to one or more of the stored content objects (e.g., contracts, letters, insurance claims, riders, etc.). The change is remediated on-the-fly and the e-signing process continues without having to restart the e-signing process from the beginning.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for interference reduction between wireless communication devices of overlapping basic service sets (OBSSs). Some aspects more specifically relate to signaling mechanisms associated with an OBSS channel sounding operation and power control mechanisms associated with OBSS interference mitigation, either or both of which a first access point (AP) associated with a first basic service set (BSS) may leverage as part of a coordinated beamforming scheme with a second AP associated with a second BSS. In accordance with OBSS channel sounding, the first AP may associate a set of sounding packets with one or more parameters indicative of the second BSS such that the sounding packets appear, to OBSS stations (STAs), as in-BSS sounding packets. Additionally, or alternatively, the first AP may employ a power control mechanism according to which the first AP may apply portion-by-portion transmission power control.

Abstract: Systems and methods for processing bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) signals from a BICM transmitter to generate information bit estimates of information in the BICM signals, including a decoder to generate the information bit estimates of the information in the received BICM signals and a symbol a posteriori probability (APP) generator to generate first symbol a posteriori probabilities (APPs) by processing the BICM signals based on Euclidean distances derived from the BICM signals, and further based on symbol probability log-likelihood ratios (SPLLRs) provided to the symbol APP generator by an extrinsic-information-based symbol probability log-likelihood ratio (SPLLR) generator. The SPLLR generator generates the SPLLRs directly from extrinsic information based on updated symbol APPs output from the decoder, without converting the extrinsic information into log-likelihoods (LLs), and the decoder generates the information bit estimates based on the first symbol APPs output from the symbol APP generator.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to message processing in communication systems, more particularly to systems and methods for mapping Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) response with appropriate cause code. BTAS receives SIP response, and determines reason for error in call, and cause code for error. BTAS maps SIP and appropriate cause code. BTAS provides, in SIP response, appropriate reason for call failure or call error. Call is sent to E-SBC, routed from E-SBC to P-CSCF, and routed from P-CSCF to S-CSCF. A query is sent from S-CSCF to DNC server regarding DNC registration of B number. DNC server answers, if B number is registered/Non-registered for DNC. Call is forwarded to BTAS, and query is sent from BTAS to MNP. BTAS routes call to S-CSCF. Wireline calls to terminating BTAS, in which VOLTE calls to TAS, and offnet calls to MGCF via BGCF. Offnet calls is sent from BGCF to MGCF.

Abstract: In various examples, a two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) deep neural network (DNN) is implemented to fuse 2D and 3D object detection results for classifying objects. For example, regions of interest (ROIs) and/or bounding shapes corresponding thereto may be determined using one or more region proposal networks (RPNs)—such as an image-based RPN and/or a depth-based RPN. Each ROI may be extended into a frustum in 3D world-space, and a point cloud may be filtered to include only points from within the frustum. The remaining points may be voxelated to generate a volume in 3D world space, and the volume may be applied to a 3D DNN to generate one or more vectors. The one or more vectors, in addition to one or more additional vectors generated using a 2D DNN processing image data, may be applied to a classifier network to generate a classification for an object.

Abstract: A method of improving user experience for initial IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) registration is proposed. When a UE boots up or leaves flight mode, the processor of the UE determines a period Tn of time for IMS PDN initial setup on a single Access-Stratum Network, starting from sending IMS PDN setup request. Upon expiration of Tn, the UE aborts the IMS PDN set up request, and performs IMS PDN set up on another Access-Stratum Network. As a result, it allows the UE to rapidly use IMS service when boots up or leaves flight mode.
