Abstract: Embodiments of a Next Generation Node-B (gNB) and User Equipment (UE) are generally described herein. The gNB may transmit control signaling to configure transmission of position reference signals (PRSs) by a plurality of transmit-receive points (TRPs). The gNB may receive, from the UE, for each of the TRPs, a set of signal location parameters (SLPs). The gNB may perform an iterative process to estimate a position of the UE. For a current iteration, the gNB may: determine a current estimate of the position of the UE based on a current plurality of sets of SLPs; and determine a cost function for each of the current plurality of sets of SLPs. The gNB may determine, based on the cost functions, a next plurality of sets of SLPs for a next estimate of the position of the UE.

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.

Abstract: A single-layer shock-absorbing sports helmet formed by steam, including a hard shell and an EPP layer. The hard shell is fitted and bonded with the EPP layer by glue, and the hard layer covers an outer surface of the EPP layer. The EPP layer is made of an EPP material which is waterproof and heat resisting and insulating, such that the wearing comfort of the helmet is effectively improved. The hard shell and the EPP layer are bonded by glue, so less materials are used, thus the weight and cost will be reduced without affecting the use of the helmet. In addition, the helmet also has excellent impact resistance.

Abstract: An apparatus for use in a UE includes processing circuitry coupled to a memory. To configure the UE for SSB processing in a 5G-NR network, the processing circuitry is to decode a MIB and a SIB received from a gNB. An RRC IE within the SIB is obtained. The RRC IE includes a bitmap associated with an SSB transmission pattern, where a length of the bitmap indicates a number of beams used within a cell of the gNB. SSB indices corresponding to candidate SSB positions within a discovery reference signal (DRS) transmission duration are determined based on the number of beams. Synchronization with the cell of the to gNB is performed using SSBs received within the DRS transmission duration, the SSBs selected based on the determined SSB indices.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for automating aspects of the annotation of a media presentation. Events are identified that relate to entities associated with the scenes of the media presentation. These events are time coded relative to the media timeline of the media presentation and might represent, for example, the appearance of a particular cast member or playback of a particular music track. The video frames of the media presentation are processed to identify visually similar intervals that may serve as or be used to identify contexts (e.g., scenes) within the media presentation. Relationships between the event data and the visually similar intervals or contexts are used to identify portions of the media presentation during which the occurrence of additional meaningful events is unlikely. This information may be surfaced to a human operator tasked with annotating the content as an indication that part of the media presentation may be skipped.
