Abstract: Systems and methods for managing synchronization of protocol data unit (PDU) sessions between a user equipment (UE) and a network are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a determination of whether a message comprising a PDU session status information element (IE) should be sent is based on previous messaging between peer entities of the network. In some embodiments, a determination that the peer entity is informed of a relevant PDU session status is made after expected reply messaging is received in response to prior messaging. In some cases, a reply message without a PDU session status IE is sent from one entity to a peer entity when it is determined that each entity has a matching PDU session status. Cases involving failures detected at the network, and cases where an entity activates a data radio bearer (DRB) of a PDU session that is inactive at its peer are also discussed.

Each cache entry in the active-cache-entry set includes information that indicates that at least one IO thread is actively referencing the cache entry. Each cache entry in the unreferenced-cache-entry set is eligible for eviction from the distributed metadata cache by including information that indicates that the cache entry is no longer actively referenced by an IO thread.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods directed to generation of a personalized three-dimensional (“3D”) body model of a body, such as a human body, based on two-dimensional (“2D”) images of that body and the generation and presentation of predicted personalized 3D body models of the body when one or more body measurements (e.g., body fat, body weight, muscle mass) are changed.
