Abstract: A repeater configured to receive, on a side control channel from a component of a network, side control information including parameters at least for determining time domain resources on which to apply an indicated beam for uplink (UL) transmission reception or downlink (DL) transmission forwarding with a user equipment (UE) on an access link, determine, from the received parameters, whether to apply the indicated beam to a transmission (Tx) spatial filter, a reception (Rx) spatial filter, or both the Tx and Rx spatial filters and apply the indicated beam to the determined Tx spatial filter, Rx spatial filter, or both the Tx and Rx spatial filters for the determined time domain resources when forwarding the DL transmission to the UE or receiving the UL transmission from the UE for forwarding to the network.

Abstract: Embodiments may relate to group addressed frame delivery over multi-link systems. Systems and methods are configured for identifying, by an access point (AP) multilink device (MLD) in a wireless network, a first sequence number space (SNS) that is to be used by the AP MLD to transmit data to a non-AP MLD over a first communications link and a second communications link, wherein frames with identical data that are transmitted over the first and second communications links will have an identical first SN based on the first SNS; identifying, by the MLD in the wireless network, the first SN based on the first SNS; and transmitting, by the AP MLD in the wireless network, a frame that includes the data to the non-AP MLD based on the first SN.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to perform measurements on reference signals or synchronization signal. In an example, timing requirements for performing such measurements can be dynamically changed depending on, at least, a measurement on one of the reference signal or the synchronization signal.

Abstract: A wearable electronic device may be formed from a layer of fabric having opposing first and second ends. The ends may have first and second respective ear openings that receive a user's ears and may have speakers for playing audio. A soft central portion of the fabric between the ends may overlap the user's eyes. The wearable electronic device may have control circuitry that receives power from a power source. Sensors may be used to gather sensor information such as biometric sensor information. The sensors, control circuitry, and power source may be mounted in a stiff edge portion of the fabric. The stiff edge portion of the fabric may have an elongated strip shape and may extend along an upper edge of the central and the electronic device. Stiffener structures sandwiched between inner and outer layers of the fabric may be used to support speakers.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a nasal breathing monitoring system with a sensor (e.g., an ultrasonic transducer or microphone) to be placed on or near the outside of the user's nose and record a signal corresponding to the user's nasal breathing. The recorded breathing signal may be digitized and analyzed, e.g., based on its spectral characteristics, in order to determine one or more breathing characteristics of the user's breathing. The system may then adjust some system parameter based on the determined one or more breathing characteristics, e.g., a signal gain, a filter, feedback to the user, etc. The system may also use the one or more breathing characteristics to: recognize a particular user's identity, present a breathing exercise to a user, tailor particular user feedback, or compare the user's breathing characteristics to historical breathing data for the user and/or historical breathing data from other users obtained via an anonymized database.

Abstract: Sensors capable of detection of user objects within different detection zones can be used to reduce power consumption of a touch screen interface of an electronic device, even while the device is in a suspended or sleep state. At least one object sensor, such as a capacitive sensor, has a detection zone or range exceeding the range of a touch screen sensor, so the touch screen sensor can be placed into a low power state until the object sensor detects a user object in a position approaching the touch screen. The object sensor(s) are positioned around or within the perimeter of the interaction area of the touch screen. The object sensor(s) can have less power consumption than the touch screen sensors, so the electronic device can have extended standby battery life or other more energy efficient operation. Object sensors are also used to detect gestures or user object positioning.
