Abstract: A wireless access point (AP) may communicate with a user equipment (UE) device via reflection off a reflective device having an array of fixed or adjustable reflectors in different orientations. The AP may illuminate different portions of an area by pointing a signal beam to different reflectors and/or by controlling the reflective device to electrically rotate the reflectors. The AP may calibrate the position of the reflective device and may establish wireless communications with the UE device by performing a sweep of signal beams over the reflectors and/or by controlling the reflective device to sweep over different reflector orientations. The AP may track movement of the UE device over time. The AP may sweep the AP beam over a subset of the reflectors around an active reflector to maintain communications with the UE device even as the UE device moves over time.

Abstract: A communications system may include a user equipment (UE) device that communicates with a wireless network. The UE device may transmit a signal to the wireless network identifying a peak data rate of a modem on the UE device, a balanced data rate of the modem, and a buffer size of the modem. The UE device may receive downlink data from the wireless network and may store the downlink data at buffer circuitry on the modem. The UE device may perform delayed processing of the downlink data across slots in a manner that allows for a reduction in size of the modem.

Abstract: Systems and methods for radio protocol architectures in cell-free networks are disclosed herein. One or more base stations make up a cell-free cluster that serves a user equipment (UE). A clustering control function (CCF) may establish, for a radio bearer that communicates data between the cluster and the UE, one or more sub-clusters of the one or more base stations. Each sub-cluster corresponds to a unique RLC entity within the protocol stack for the radio bearer in question. The CCF communicates with the base stations of the cluster and the UE to establish this sub-clustering arrangement. Details of this messaging are described herein. Data of the radio bearer is then transmitted between the cluster and the UE according to the established sub-clusters/RLC entities. For example, the network may transport either the same data of the radio bearer and/or unique data of the radio bearer through any/each of the sub-clusters/RLC entities.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to communication device used as a power meter. The communication device includes circuitry to determine values of several forces and a processor. The processor determines a combined force by combining the determined values of the forces. The processor further determines a value of a power based on the s combined force, a speed and a loss factor. The communication device is used by a user to measure the power. The power is generated by the user when engaged in an activity, and the forces affect a movement of the user.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components, including apparatus, systems, and methods for discovering and establishing highly directional wireless communication link through other devices with established highly directional communication link to an access point. Devices with established link to the access point may exchange beam information (BI) or geometry or location indication (GI) between the AP and devices seeking to be connected to the AP. The exchange of BI and GI may expedite link establishment between the AP and devices without connection to the AP.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including: receiving, from a remote device, a reference signal for each of one or more synchronization signal blocks (SSBs); responsive to the receiving, selecting a receiver (Rx) beam from a set of candidate receiver (Rx) beams, the selecting being based on a sweep of the candidate Rx beams and on measuring the reference signal with one or more of the candidate Rx beams of the set of the candidate Rx beams; and communicating, using the selected Rx beam, an element of common control signaling (CCS) information to the remote device.

Abstract: A communication system may include a base station (BS), a user equipment (UE) device, a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) having a local controller, and a remote controller. Antenna elements on the RIS may reflect signals between the BS and UE while exhibiting reflection coefficients. The remote controller may transmit a control model and the UE may transmit local information to the local controller, which generates the reflection coefficients based on the local information and control model. Alternatively, the remote controller may transmit the control model to the UE and a codebook to the RIS. The UE may transmit an identifier to the RIS based on local information and the control model. The local controller may implement reflection coefficients of a codebook entry identified by the identifier. Splitting control of the RIS in these ways may minimize communication overhead, provide coverage extension for the UE, and optimize privacy.
