  • FOLDABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR MULTI-VIEW IMAGE CAPTURE
    Publication number: 20240022702
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided to automatically adjust the position of image sensors, and generate a multi-view image based on image data captured from the image sensors. For example, an image capture device includes a housing comprising a first housing portion and a second housing portion, with a first sensor coupled to the first housing portion, and a second sensor coupled to the second housing portion. A coupling device, such as a hinge, couples the first housing portion to the second housing portion. The image capture device obtains image data from the first sensor and the second sensor, and determines an object depth based on the obtained image data. The image capture device outputs an adjusted angle based on the object depth, and obtains additional image data from the first and second sensors. The image capture device generates the multi-view image based on the additional image data.

  • UE Paging in NR Unlicensed Spectrum
    Publication number: 20240015698
    Abstract: Systems and methods of increasing paging opportunities when the unlicensed band is used are described. The gNB sends an RRC message that indicates multiple monitoring occasions in a paging occasion of a paging frame. The UE monitors a monitoring occasion of a PO to determine whether a PDCCH with a P-RNTI has been received in an unlicensed band. If such a PDCCH is received, the UE decodes PD SCH information in the PDCCH to determine whether the P-RNTI is a P-RNTI of the UE. If so, the UE avoids monitoring subsequent monitoring occasions of the PO. If the PDCCH does not contain a P-RNTI, the UE continues to monitor other monitoring occasions within the PO.

  • UE CONFIGURED TO DETERMINE REMAINING CHANNEL OCCUPANCY FOR UL TRANSMISSION FOR SHARED-SPECTRUM CHANNEL ACCESS
    Publication number: 20240008075
    Abstract: Systems and methods for downlink transmission using a wideband unlicensed band carrier in 5G networks are described. The gNB determines, based on LBT, which LBT subchannel(s) in a BWP are available during a COT. The gNB transmits an indication of the available subchannels in DCI format 2_0 of a GC-PDCCH of one of the available subchannels and subsequently transmits a PDSCH using the available subchannel(s). The gNB may configure multiple opportunities during the COT and transmit the GC-PDCCH after the initial opportunity. The PDSCH is transmitted on all available subchannels during the COT and, during an initial portion of the COT, may transmit the PDSCH by puncturing symbols of the unavailable subchannels. The indication may include a bitmap of available subchannels or if the LBT outcome is not available, may indicate all or none of the subchannels or available or that the outcome is not available.
