  • Publication number: 20230019079
    Abstract: An AP/PCP may perform user selection/pairing/grouping based on a measurement of an analog transmission (e.g., signal to noise ratio (SNR) or signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR)). The SNRs may be used, for example by the station, to determine best beams and/or beam pairs and/or worst beams and/or beam pairs. A station may feed back the best few beams and/or beam pairs for a Tx and Rx virtual antenna pair. A station may feed back the worst few beams for the Tx and Rx virtual antenna pair. The AP/PCP may receive the indication(s) and/or use the indication(s) to group the stations.

  • Patent number: 11546940
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for channel access and listen-before-talk approaches for new radio operation in unlicensed bands and/or licensed bands. A gNB and a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may operate in unlicensed spectrum. The gNB may perform listen-before-talk operation, and when successful, may send a downlink control channel with a slot format indication (SFI) to the WTRU. There may also be a handshaking procedure with an exchange of a request to transmit (RTT) and a request to receive (RTR). Prior to receiving the downlink channel, the WTRU may monitor search spaces at a first level, and once the downlink channel is received the WTRU may monitor search spaces at a second level. At the end of transmission, the WTRU may revert back to monitoring search spaces at the first level. In one example, the first level may be a mini-slot level and the second level may be a slot level.

  • Publication number: 20220391734
    Abstract: In some implementations, a system may receive inventory data associated with a data storage system. The inventory data identifies file paths for objects stored in the data storage system. The system may detect patterns in prefixes of the file paths using one or more trained machine learning models. The system may normalize the prefixes of the file paths based on the patterns detected in the prefixes. The system may detect datasets of the objects stored in the data storage system based on the normalized prefixes. The system may compare prefixes associated with the detected datasets with prefixes associated with a set of registered datasets that are registered with a metadata repository. The system may determine, based on comparing the prefixes associated with the detected datasets and the prefixes associated with the set of registered datasets, a respective registration classification for each detected dataset.

In response to transmitting the FD RTS to the second STA, the AP may receive a clear to send (CTS) from the second STA. The AP may transmit, to both the first STA and the second STA, a FD trigger frame that includes scheduling information to enables FD communication with the first STA for uplink (UL) data and the second STA for downlink (DL) data at a same time. The scheduling information may include timing information and channel information for the FD communication.

  • Patent number: 11503613
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for interference discovery for full-duplex data transmission are provided. In an embodiment, a station (STA) receives a full-duplex request message from an access point (AP). The STA transmits a first full-duplex response message to the AP. The STA listens for a second full-duplex response message transmitted from a second STA to the AP. The STA determines a received power of the second full-duplex response message from the second STA to the AP. The STA receives a first trigger message from the AP. The first trigger message includes information to perform full-duplex data transmission. The STA transmits data to the AP in response to the first trigger message. The STA transmits interference information to the AP. The interference information is based on the determined received power.
