Abstract: A method executes at a computing device having one or more processors and memory. The device identifies a set of objects for a data visualization platform, each object in the set of objects representing a database, a data source, a table, a data field, a user, a visualization worksheet, or a calculated field. The device generates a data model from the set of objects. Each object of the set of objects is represented as a node in the data model and each directed edge in the data model identifies a relationship between a pair of objects. The device generates one or more shortcuts in the data model according to object types of the objects in the set of objects. Each shortcut represents a relationship, between a respective pair of objects, not represented by a directed edge. Then the device stores the data model, including the generated shortcuts, in the memory.

Abstract: Systems and methods related to “on/off” determinations regarding the performance of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring during connected mode discontinuous reception (CDRX) on duration windows are disclosed herein. In some cases, a radio access network (RAN) predicts whether a downlink (DL) packet for a UE will arrive at a buffer of the RAN prior to an end of a CDRX on duration window of the UE, and sends a downlink control information (DCI) with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a power-saving radio network temporary identifier (PS-RNTI) (DCP) for the CDRX on duration window indicating whether or not the UE should perform PDCCH monitoring during the CDRX on duration window based on the prediction. In some cases, a UE determines a current state of DL traffic and adaptively uses DCP monitoring based on the current state of the traffic. Aggregation level adaptation by the RAN is also discussed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for transmitting positioning measurement report are provided. The method includes a step of receiving a location information request from a serving base station or from a location server, a step of determining timing for transmitting a positioning measurement report, a step of generating a report assisted message based on the determined timing for transmitting the positioning measurement report, and a step of transmitting the report assisted message to the serving base station.

Consequently, the UE can transmit the positioning measurement report just after the measurement data being generated. The disclosure can minimize the delay from positioning measurement data generation to the positioning measurement report.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to UL-based and DL-based positioning in a wireless communication network. A method comprises: determining, by a first device, an estimation of a propagation delay for a first reference signal to be transmitted from a second device; in accordance with a determination that the estimation of the propagation delay exceeds a threshold delay, determining a target period within a symbol on which at least a part of the first reference signal is transmitted; and performing positioning measurements on the first reference signal within the target period. As such, the receiver is capable of applying an adaptive and adjustable window for receiving different positioning reference signals (PRSs) depending on various conditions and situations. In this way, the PRS measurement performance and the positioning accuracy can be greatly improved.

Abstract: Implementations selectively offload visual frames from a client device to an edge system for processing. The client device can receive streaming visual frames and a request to process the visual frames using a data service. The client device can offload visual frames to an edge system preloaded with a workload resource that corresponds to the requested data service. After the edge system processes the offloaded visual frames using the workload resource, the edge system can return the processed visual frame to the client device. In some implementations, the edge system and client device are situated in a network such that a latency for the offload communications support real-time video display. A cloud system can maintain a registry of edge systems and provide client devices with information about nearby edge systems. The cloud system can also preload the edge systems with workload resources that correspond to data services.

Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to coordinated positioning via sidelink resource. A first terminal device transmits a first message to a plurality of positioning terminal devices including a second terminal device. The first message indicates sidelink resources for transmitting reference signals from the plurality of positioning terminal devices to the first terminal device. Upon receiving the first message, the second terminal device determines a first sidelink resource for transmitting a first reference signal for positioning the first terminal device from the sidelink resources, and then transmits the first reference signal via the first sidelink resource to the first terminal device. Through this solution, a sidelink-based positioning solution can be implemented.
