Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure relate to a coexistence of a first radio access technology (RAT), such as a fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR) technology with a second RAT, such as a narrow-band internet-of-things (NB-IOT) technology. In a first aspect, a 5G NR resource block size and an NB-IOT resource block size are defined, and a compatible alignment of an NB-IOT resource block and a 5G NR resource block is identified. An offset associated with the compatible alignment is then determined in which the offset is within a threshold offset and facilitates an identification of a valid NB-IOT resource block. In a second aspect, an offset associated with a compatible alignment of a 5G NR resource block and an NB-IOT resource block is ascertained, and a channel raster is shifted according to the offset associated with the compatible alignment.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication. One method for wireless communication includes transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), an indication of a control channel subcarrier spacing to be used by the UE; and transmitting a control message having a subcarrier spacing in accordance with the indication. Another method for wireless communication includes transmitting, to a UE, an indicator channel identifying at least a subcarrier spacing to be used in one or more subsequent control channels. One or more subsequent control channels are then transmitted in accordance with the subcarrier spacing indicated by the indicator channel.
Abstract:
A method performed by an electronic device is described. The method includes determining a haziness confidence level based on multiple modalities. The method also includes determining whether to perform an action based on the haziness confidence level. The method may include performing the action, including performing haziness reduction based on the haziness confidence level.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates in some aspects to multiplexing different types of traffic. Techniques are disclosed to facilitate puncturing one type of traffic with another type of traffic (e.g., traffic having more stringent latency and/or reliability requirements). In some aspects, these techniques mitigate potential loss of control information for the punctured traffic. In some aspects, the disclosed techniques are applicable to mobile broadband traffic and mission critical traffic.
Abstract:
A method of processing data includes receiving, at a computing device, data representative of an image captured by an image sensor. The method also includes determining a first scene clarity score. The method further includes determining whether the first scene clarity score satisfies a threshold, and if the first scene clarity score satisfies the threshold, determining a second scene clarity score based on second data extracted from the data.
Abstract:
Control information may be identified and provided to a user equipment (UE) that is formatted into a codeword that is transmitted in a first symbol of a downlink transmission to the UE. The control information may include an allocation of downlink or uplink resources for the UE and data processing parameters. The control information may be partitioned into first control information transmitted in a first codeword and second control information that may be formatted into a second codeword. The second control information may be determined based at least in part on the data acknowledgment from the UE. Such partitioned control information may allow a base station to perform some processing related to transmissions for a transmission time interval (TTI) prior to the start of the TTI, and allow the base station to perform some processing for the TTI after the start of the TTI.
Abstract:
Transmission of user equipment (UE) specific control information within a resource allocation including resource blocks allocated for downlink transmissions to the UE is disclosed. Common control information may be provided in a first transmission time interval (TTI)-level control region, and UE-specific control information, specific to a particular UE, may be provided along with data in allocated downlink resources to the UE. A base station may identify a resource block (RB) for transmission of data to a UE along with UE-specific control information to be included in the RB. The control information may include, for example, parameters for use by the receiver in demodulating the RB. The base station may multiplex the control information with the data within the RB and transmit the RB and control information.
Abstract:
A method for obtaining structural information from a digital image by an electronic device is described. The method includes obtaining a digital image. The method also includes determining a gradient vector for each pixel in a region of interest of the digital image. The method further includes transforming each pixel in the region of interest in accordance with a transform. Transforming each pixel includes determining, for each pixel, a first set of pixels. The first set of pixels includes any pixel along a line that is collinear with or perpendicular to the gradient vector and passes through a pixel location. Transforming each pixel includes incrementing with signed integer values, for each pixel, a first set of values in a transform space corresponding to any of the first set of pixels that are in a first direction of the line.

Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure relate to rate-matching a stream of bits encoded using polar codes. An exemplary method generally includes determining a mother code size (N) for transmitting an encoded stream of bits based, at least in part, on a minimum supported code rate for transmitting the encoded stream of bits (Rmin), a control information size of the encoded stream of bits (K), a number of coded bits for transmission (E), and a maximum mother code size (Nmax), encoding a stream of bits using a polar code of size (N, K) and storing the encoded stream of bits in a circular buffer, and performing rate-matching on the stored encoded stream of bits based, at least in part, on a comparison among the mother code size (N), the control information size of the encoded stream of bits (K), and the number of coded bits for transmission (E).
