Abstract:
Methods, systems and devices are provided for receiving input in a wearable electronic device from positioning an object near the wearable electronic device. Embodiments include an image sensor receiving an image. An input position of the object near the wearable electronic device may be determined with respect to a frame of reference. The determined input position may be one of a plurality of positions defined by a frame of reference and may be associated with an input value. A visual indication regarding the input value may be provided on a display of the wearable electronic device. At least one of an anatomical feature on the wearer and a received reference input on the anatomical surface may be used to determine the frame of reference.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus is a first BS. The apparatus determines a first channel between a second BS and a first UE served by a third BS, determines a second channel between the first base station and the first UE, and determines a first direction vector to be used by the second base station for sending a data transmission. The apparatus transmits a set of resource blocks to a second UE served by the first base station with a second direction vector determined based on the first channel, the second channel, and the first direction vector to be used by the second base station.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) device includes a VLC receiver including a photodiode and a radio receiver. The UE device supports a plurality of alternative technologies, communications protocols, and/or frequencies. During a first mode of operation, e.g., a discovery mode, a low reverse bias voltage value is applied to the photodiode. The low reverse bias voltage is adequate to support the recovery of small amounts of communicated information, and the power consumed by the battery of the UE device is relatively low. During discovery, information communicated includes, e.g., a light transmitter ID, an access point ID, services available at the access point, configuration information for a light receiver and/or for an auxiliary radio receiver. During a second mode of operation, e.g., a data traffic mode, the reverse bias voltage applied to the photodiode is set to a high reverse bias voltage to support higher data rate using VLC.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate transmitting low-density parity-check encoded communications in a wireless communications network and incrementing such codes in response to requests from receiving devices. The LDPC codes can have associated constraints allowing the codes to be error corrected upon receipt. The requests for incremented codes can be in cases of low transmission power or high interference, for example, where the original code can be too error-ridden to properly decode. In this case, additional nodes can be added to current and/or subsequent communications to facilitate adding a more complex constraint to the LDPC code. In this regard, the large codes can require less validly transmitted nodes to predict error-ridden values as the additional constraint renders less ambiguity in possible node value choices.

Abstract:
Efficient methods for wirelessly communicating file content under varying conditions are described. A wireless device determines, based on mobility and/or geographic location, if the wireless device is to operate in a first mode of communication operation in which received portions of said file are re-transmitted or a second mode of communication operation in which combinations of portions of said file are transmitted. The wireless device transmits packets communicating received file portions when it is determined that the wireless device is to operate in said first mode of operation and transmits packets communicating combinations of file portions, e.g., linear combinations of file portions, when it is determined that the wireless device is to operate in said second mode of operation. The contents of a file may be obtained from some packets which communicate distinct portions of the file and other packets which communicate combinations of distinct portions of the file.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE receives pilot signals from a serving base station and at least one interfering base station. The UE determines phase rotations used by the serving base station and the at least one interfering base station for transmitting resource blocks. The UE determines channel feedback based on the received pilots signals and the determined phase rotations for each of the serving base station and the at least one interfering base station. The UE sends the channel feedback to the serving base station. The UE receives data based on the determined phase rotations.

A method includes retrieving a plurality of images containing one or more objects of interest and generating, with one or more processors, using a machine learning model, a bounding box around each of the one or more objects of interest for each of the plurality of images. The method also includes determining, with the one or more processors, a geographical position of each of the one or more objects of interest based on a position of the bounding box.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described to support replacing values of one or more information bit vectors with one or more corresponding sets of parity bits. A first wireless device may replace an information bit vector with a parity bit vector, using a set of information bits of the information bit vector and based on a parity check matrix, which may result in generating the set of information bits at an information bit vector corresponding to a parity bit column of the parity check matrix, during encoding. The first wireless device may perform a transmission to a second wireless device, which may receive the transmission, decode the set of information bits to the information bit vector corresponding to the parity bit column. The second wireless device may replace other bit estimates of a vector corresponding to an information bit column with the set of information bits.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques generally provide for spatially coupled multiple-in multiple-out (MIMO) signaling for a single codeword across multiple layers. A transmitting device may transmit, via multiple time-frequency resources using multiple spatial layers, a set of code blocks associated with a codeword. At a first time-frequency resource, each code block of a first subset of the set of code blocks may be mapped to a respective transmission layer, and at a second time-frequency resource, each code block of a second subset of the set of code blocks may be mapped to a respective transmission layer, where the second set of code blocks is staggered from the first set of code blocks. By staggering code blocks across multiple time-frequency resources, a receiving wireless device may cancel out interference of one or more previously decoded code blocks.
