Abstract: A display may include a waveguide that directs image light to an eye box. The waveguide may include an optical coupler that redirects and replicates the light. The coupler may include a surface relief grating (SRG). The SRG may have a pitch that varies continuously along an axis orthogonal its ridges. The pitch may vary sinusoidally, linearly, parabolically, or according to other continuous and differentiable functions of position along the axis. The SRG may diffract the light. Upon diffracting the light, the SRG may impart a phase to the light. The phase may vary continuously as a function of position along a first axis and may, if desired, vary continuously as a function of position along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis. The SRG may prevent formation of coherent light paths after replication, thereby maximizing the efficiency of the system.

Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for displaying one or more user interfaces based on a context of an electronic device within a physical environment. In some examples, the electronic device detects initiation of an exercise activity associated with a user of the electronic device, optionally while a computer-generated environment is presented at the electronic device. In some examples, in response to detecting the initiation of the exercise activity, the electronic device activates an exercise tracking mode of operation. In some examples, while the exercise tracking mode of operation is active, the electronic device captures one or more images of a physical environment. In some examples, in accordance with detecting, in the one or more images, a feature of the physical environment, the electronic device performs a first operation associated with the exercise tracking mode of operation.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) implementing power control for a 2-step random access channel (RACH) procedure is provided. The UE determines a first transmission power of a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble to be used during a 2-step RACH procedure. The UE determines a second transmission power of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission to be used during the 2-step RACH procedure based on the first transmission power of the PRACH preamble. The UE then performs the 2-step RACH procedure based on the first transmission power of the PRACH preamble and the second transmission power of the PUSCH transmission. The UE switches to a 4-step RACH procedure from the 2-step RACH procedure based on a determination that the PRACH preamble was successfully detected and the PUSCH transmission was falsely detected, and performs the 4-step RACH procedure based on the first transmission power of the PRACH preamble.

Abstract: Approaches for performing Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmissions include receiving, by a user equipment (UE) from a base station, an indicator of a plurality of precoders corresponding to M Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) repetitions, wherein M is an integer. A plurality of precoders corresponding to two or more of the M PUSCH repetitions are indicated. The UE configures the plurality of precoders based on the indicator and transmits one or more of the M Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) repetitions corresponding to one or more of the plurality of precoders. The indicator can be provided in higher layer signaling. One or more transmission rank indicator (TRIs) and transmission precoder matrix indicators (TPMIs) for the M PUSCH repetitions can be provided. The indicator can be provided in a scheduling downlink control indicator (DCI) communication. The indicator can also be provided within N sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicator(s) (SRIs) of the scheduling DCI.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a user equipment (UE) in a cellular communications network receives a first Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) corresponding to a first cell of the cellular communications network, and a second SSB corresponding to a second cell of the cellular communications network. The UE clarifies a first cell identifier (ID) of the first cell. The UE clarifies a second cell ID of the second cell. The UE determines an SSB measurement accuracy value using the first cell ID and the second cell ID.
