Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for beam indication latency reduction via symbol level beam sweeping capability reporting. A wireless device may transmit, to a base station, a report associated with symbol level beam sweeping. The wire wireless device may receive, from the base station, a symbol level beam sweeping configuration. The symbol level beam sweeping configuration may be based, at least in part, on the report. The wireless device may perform synchronization signal block (SSB) measurements according to the report and the symbol level beam sweeping configuration.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for automatically transitioning between communication modes of wearable audio output devices based solely on acoustic analysis. The audio output devices may operate in one of three electroacoustic modes. In the transparency mode, an audio output device may pass through the speech signal of a nearby user. In the peer-to-peer mode, the audio output device may establish a direct low-latency radio frequency (RF) link to another audio output device. In the telephony mode, the audio output device may communicate with another audio output device using networked telephony. The disclosed methods and systems perform acoustic analysis of the near-field speech signal of a local wearer of the audio output device and the far-field speech signal of a remote talker to determine the best mode for the audio output device to use and to seamlessly transition between the modes as the acoustic environment between the wearers changes.

Abstract: Various embodiments include a dynamic flex circuit that may be used in a camera with a moveable image sensor. The dynamic flex circuit may include one or more fixed end portions, a moveable end portion, and an intermediate portion. In some embodiments, the fixed end portion may be connected to another flex circuit of the camera. The moveable end portion may be coupled with the moveable image sensor. The intermediate portion may be configured to allow the moveable end portion to move with the moveable image sensor. Some embodiments include a reinforcement arrangement that reinforces one or more portions of the dynamic flex circuit.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer readable medium for special thermal density reduction by antenna thinning. A system comprises N transmit/receive (TX/RX) chains, where each TX/RX chain comprises an RFFE and each RFFE comprises one or more thermal sensors configured to measure heat in the RFFE. An antenna array coupled to the plurality of TX/RX chains. A codebook that comprises a plurality of code words configured to respond to real-time heat measurements from the thermal sensors in each TX/RX chain is configured to switch off selected TX/RX chains to reduce thermal density at the antenna array while maintaining M RFFEs switched on, where M

Abstract: In some implementations, a method of generating a third person view of a computer-generated reality (CGR) environment is performed at a device including non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the non-transitory memory. The method includes: obtaining a first viewing vector associated with a first user within a CGR environment; determining a first viewing frustum for the first user within the CGR environment based on the first viewing vector associated with the first user and one or more depth attributes; generating a representation of the first viewing frustum; and displaying, via the display device, a third person view of the CGR environment including an avatar of the first user and the representation of the first viewing frustum adjacent to the avatar of the first user.
