Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A communication device, such as a network entity may determine a set of topologies associated with a non-linear distortion characteristic of a wireless communication at a set of devices (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a base station). For example, a single waveform may have different distortion characteristics on different frequencies. Each of one or more topologies of the set of topologies may include a frequency spectrum mask for the wireless communication. The wireless communication may include a waveform at a first frequency. The frequency spectrum mask associated with the non-linear distortion characteristic of the waveform at the first frequency may be for interference mitigation at a second frequency different than the first frequency. The network entity may transmit first control signaling indicating the set of topologies associated with the non-linear distortion characteristic of the waveform.

Abstract: A scheduled entity receives a communication from a scheduling entity that facilitates a configuration on how to connect with a plurality of candidate cells. The scheduled entity then exchanges information about the plurality of candidate cells with the scheduling entity via Layer 1 (L1)/Layer 2 (L2) signaling, and connects with at least one of the plurality of candidate cells based on the L1/L2 signaling and the configuration. In another example, a scheduling entity transmits a communication to a scheduled entity to pre-configure the scheduled entity on how to connect with a plurality of candidate cells. The scheduling entity then receives information about the plurality of candidate cells from the scheduled entity via L1/L2 signaling, and dynamically selects via the L1/L2 signaling at least one of the plurality of candidate cells to serve the scheduled entity.

Abstract: Extension of power efficient paging in a wireless network. In some examples, information is buffered for a time period corresponding to a paging slot, or both the paging slot and at least one adjacent slot. The buffered control information is processed to detect paging downlink control information (DCI) and a tracking reference signal (TRS).

In some examples, quasi-co-located (QCL) processing may be performed on the TRS and the paging DCI paging message, and a paging message is scheduled, based on the QCL processing, in a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in a same or offset paging slot.

Abstract: A system processes images of documents, for example, identification documents. The system transforms an image of a document to generate an image that represent the document in a canonical form. For example, if the input image has a document that is tilted at an angle with respect to the sides of the image, the system modifies the orientation of the document to show the document having sides aligned with the sides of the image. The system stores user accounts that include user information including images. The system generates a graph of nodes that represent user accounts with edges determined based on similarity scores between user accounts. The system determines connected components of user accounts, such that each connected component represents user accounts that have a high likelihood of being duplicates.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. For example, a network entity may output, and a user equipment (UE) may receive, a first control message identifying a first discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle and a second, different DRX cycle for the UE to use, the first and second DRX cycles having a first and second active duration, respectively. The network entity may also output a second control message identifying periodic resources for the UE to use to monitor for a periodic signal, the periodic resources being outside at least the first active duration. The UE may monitor for, and the network entity may output, based on the periodic resources being outside the first active duration, the periodic signal during the first active duration based on updating the first active duration, updating the periodic resources, or both.

Abstract: New radio (NR) power headroom report (PHR) design for millimeter wave (mmWave) deployment is discussed. The power control process for mmWave may include beam-specific periodic PHR reporting and user equipment (UE)-specific event-trigger PHR reporting. The periodic PHR reporting may either provide a single PHR that includes power headroom information for each of the serving beams, or the UE may be configured to measure and report PHR for different beams in different slots. When reporting a single PHR with power headroom information for multiple serving beams, a beam index may be included in the reserved bits of the PHR. For the event-trigger PHR, the PHR reported based on a detected event trigger may provide power headroom information only for the current serving beam, or for all serving beams.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support management of network-configured sensing bandwidths in a wireless communication system. In particular aspects, a network configures a sensing bandwidth, and the sensing bandwidth configuration is signaled to a contending node. The contending node (e.g., a UE or a base station) performs a medium sensing procedure (e.g., a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure) using the signaled configuration of the sensing bandwidth. Aspects of this disclosure provide various techniques for signaling the configuration of the sensing bandwidth to the contending node.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a base station may transmit sets of network coding encoded packets user equipments (UEs), and each set of network coding encoded packets may be associated with a redundancy overhead. The base station may dynamically identify the redundancy overhead for transmitting sets of network coding encoded packets to each UE based on a failure rate associated with a previous transmission of network coding encoded packets to that UE. For example, the base station may determine a failure rate associated with a transmission of a first set of network coding encoded packets and may identify a redundancy overhead associated with one or more second sets of network coding encoded packets based on the determined failure rate. In some cases, the base station may identify different redundancy overheads for transmissions of network coding encoded packets to different UEs.
