Abstract: A UE in a wireless network receives measurement configuration for group(s) of cells wherein the measurement configuration is for positioning measurements of the UE using signals from base station(s). The UE receives criteria based on the measurement configuration for the UE to trigger report(s) for the group(s) of cells. The UE performs, using at least the measurement configuration, positioning measurements of the group(s) of cells and sends a report that is triggered based at least on the criteria. A network element sends the measurement configuration for the group(s) of cells to the UE. The network element sends the criteria based on the measurement configuration for the UE to trigger the report(s) for the one or more groups of cells. The network element receives a report from the UE that was triggered based at least on the criteria. Methods, software, computer program products, and apparatus are disclosed.

Abstract: A dental appliance is described herein. The dental appliance includes an abutment device adapted to be coupled to a jawbone and a sensor support assembly coupled to the abutment device. The sensor support assembly includes a sensor chamber that is configured to receive a sensing device therein. A chamber cover is coupled to the sensor support assembly to enclose the sensor chamber. The chamber cover includes a plurality of orifices that are configured to couple the sensor chamber in flow communication with an oral cavity. A tooth cap is coupled to the abutment device and includes a cap opening to receive the sensor support assembly therein.

Abstract: An uplink non-orthogonal multiple access for narrowband machine type communication used for the deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) interconnected devices where one or more user equipment are configured for uplink transmission with one or more uplink time-frequency regions for enhanced Machine Type Communication Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access. The configuring is based on defining and signaling one or more signal thresholds and one or more of a resource assignment, a starting subframe periodicity, a starting subframe offset, a time duration in each period, a demodulation reference signal cyclic shift assignment, orthogonal cover code assignment, and interleaver assignment.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are described that receive an indication of power levels at the base station in a wireless communications system from each user equipment of user equipments served by the base station and determine whether at least one user equipment of those user equipments is capable to overlap at least one same time-frequency resource as at least one user equipment of a remainder of those user equipments. In response to the determination that at least one user equipment is capable to overlap with at least one user equipment of the remainder, then such overlap is scheduled. Based on the overlap being scheduled, packets from the one or more user equipments received are then decoded using an advanced receiver process.

Abstract: A method and apparatus may include determining that downlink communication is to be scheduled for transmission to user equipment. The method may also include scheduling the downlink communication. The method may also include scheduling uplink communication. The uplink communication is transmitted by user equipment to the network node. The uplink communication and the downlink communication are transmitted such that (1) uplink frequency resources are the same as downlink frequency resources, (2) uplink frequency resources are contained within downlink frequency resources, or (3) uplink frequency resources overlap with downlink frequency resources. The method may also include signaling user equipment to ignore a carrier sensing mechanism. User equipment transmits the uplink communication at a time specified by the network node.
