  • Publication number: 20240133975
    Abstract: A computerized simulation validating method for a full-scale distribution network single phase-to-ground fault test is implemented by simulating a full-scale test system with external quantities being controlled to be conformant and validating the full-scale distribution network single phase-to-ground fault test based on a conformance check result between the internal quantities of the field testing and the internal quantities of the simulation testing. The simulation validating method for a full-scale distribution network single phase-to-ground fault test improves normalization and conformance of the full-scale distribution network ground fault test. The computerized simulation validating system, apparatus, and medium for a full-scale distribution network single phase-to-ground fault test also achieve the benefits noted above.

  • Publication number: 20240080658
    Abstract: Sidelink based relay communications include communications through a relay user equipment (“UE”) between a basestation and a remote UE. Relay communications can be improved by addressing incompatibilities between different devices, which support different features/operations, such as the layers of communication. Access control and an establishment cause value can also be addressed by the relay communications. Paging identification and system information can be communicated by relay communications, such as through the relay UE to improve communications.
