  • Patent number: 11076424
    Abstract: Devices and methods of transmit opportunity (TXOP) with continued listen-before-talk (LBT) are generally described. A user equipment (UE) can be configured to perform a single LBT during an LBT scanning instance, to detect availability of an unlicensed wireless channel. Upon detecting availability of the channel, data is encoded for transmission during a TXOP with a TXOP duration. A pause in the transmission of the data is initiated upon expiration of a first time interval of the TXOP. A continuous LBT procedure is performed upon expiration of the pause, to determine a plurality of sensing metrics indicating occupancy of the unlicensed wireless channel. The transmission of the data is resumed during the TXOP for a second time interval, when at least one sensing metric of the plurality of sensing metrics is below a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20210224110
    Abstract: The application provides a task scheduling simulation system, comprising a data preprocessing subsystem and a task scheduling subsystem. The data preprocessing subsystem filters the input cloud computing log information for abnormal data and extracts the running time of each task. The task scheduling subsystem enqueues or dequeues tasks from the batch task and real-time task running queues of each node, and keeps the tasks currently running in the cluster consistent with the actual production environment, and updates the number of CPU cores and the used and available memory capacity of each node according to resource requirement of each task. The mixed scheduling simulation of batch tasks and online tasks can be realized, and the resource simulation of the heterogeneous CPU core number and memory capacity of the cluster nodes can be simulated.

  • Patent number: 11064567
    Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Next Generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The UE may receive configuration information to configure the UE with a plurality of channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource sets. One of the CSI-RS resource sets may be allocated for beam failure detection (BFD). The UE may determine, based on a sub-carrier spacing (SCS) of a bandwidth part (BWP), a frequency density of the CSI-RS resources in the BWP in terms of a number of resource elements (REs) per resource block (RB). The UE may determine, based on the frequency density of the CSI-RS resources, an evaluation period for CSI-RS based BFD, wherein the evaluation period is longer for higher frequency densities and the evaluation period is shorter for lower frequency densities.

  • Patent number: 11026233
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry coupled to memory. To configure the UE for New Radio (NR) communications, the processing circuitry is to decode a plurality of CSI-RSs received from a base station on a corresponding plurality of beams. DCI received via a PDCCH is decoded, the DCI activating reporting of beam emissions information associated with the plurality of beams. A CSI report is encoded with the beam emissions information for transmission to the base station, the beam emissions information comprising a flag for each beam of the plurality of beams indicating whether the beam can be used for uplink beam indication. Configuration signaling is decoded with the uplink beam indication, the uplink beam indication based on the beam emissions information and including a CRI of a selected beam of the plurality of beams. Data is encoded for transmission via an uplink channel using the selected beam.

    Abstract: Single-layer LEDs were developed using a composite thin film of organometal halide perovskite (Pero) and poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO). Single-layer Pero LEDs have a device structure that resembles “bottom electrode (ITO)/Pero-PEO/top electrode (In/Ga or Au)”. Green emission LEDs with methylammonium lead bromide (bromide-Pero) and PEO composite thin films exhibit a low turn-on voltage of about 2.8-3.1V (defined at 1 cd m?2 luminance), a maximum luminance of 4064 cd m?2 and a moderate maximum current efficiency of about 0.24-0.74 cd A?1. Blue and red emission LEDs have also been fabricated using Cl/Br or Br/I alloyed Pero-PEO composite thin films.
