Abstract

A wireless device may initiate communications with a base station using one or more random access procedures. Different random access procedures may be associated with a different quantity of preamble repetitions and/or different reference signals. Based on a determination that a random access response has not been received in response to a first quantity of preamble repetitions, the wireless device may perform a second quantity of preamble repetitions using a transmission power that is increased based on at least one of: the first quantity of preamble repetitions and the second quantity of preamble repetitions being the same, or a first reference signal (e.g., associated with the first quantity of preamble repetitions) being the same as a second reference signal (e.g., associated with the second quantity of preamble repetitions).

Abstract

One or more methods, apparatuses, computer-readable storage mediums, and systems for entropy coding vertex information of an edge in a voxelized space of a point cloud are disclosed. Symbols of a neighborhood configuration of a current edge may be determined based on one or more already coded edges. The already coded edges may be selected from a spatial topology of edges. The use of a motion-compensated point cloud for coding centroid residual values may enhance interframe correlation used for determining a context or probability model. This increased correlation may improve the selection of coders, leading to enhanced compression of centroid residual values.

Abstract

A block vector predictor (BVP) may be adjusted to provide a more accurate prediction of a block vector (BV). A coder (e.g., encoder or decoder) may determine that the at least one component of the BVD may be equal to zero (or, e.g., null), for example, based on a position of the Current Block (CB) relative to a boundary of the reference region. Consequently, the encoder may skip signaling, and the decoder may skip parsing, of the at least one component of the BVD in the bitstream.

Abstract

Systems and methods are described herein for just-in-time encoding of uniquely recorded vide segments. A particular content segment can include a plurality of versions, where each version includes a different formatting characteristic. For example, the plurality of versions can include a high bit rate version, a medium bitrate version, and a low bitrate version. The system can store one of the versions of the content segment. When a user requests the content segment in a version other than the stored version, the system can retrieve the stored version from storage, and can encode the version of the content segment to generate or replicate the requested version of the content segment.

Abstract

Systems and methods are described herein for moving content across a network by replicating compressed video segments. Data transfer burdens on the network may be reduced by only moving residual data associated with an original segment (e.g., an original recording) across the network and using the residual data to recreate the original segment. According to some aspects, the original segment may be decoded from the residual with a private key.

Abstract

A wireless device may receive a message indicating that it is to switch cells, such as in a handover process, and the wireless device may take steps to switch cells. The time needed for making the switch can depend on, for example, the time it takes the wireless device to process that message, and different types of messages (e.g., messages at a media access control ¨ MAC ¨ layer) may be processed more quickly than others. A wireless device may quickly cancel a triggered power headroom report (PHR) procedure for an old cell, and trigger a PHR for a new cell, based on receiving such a message. The canceling and/or triggering may be performed even without resetting a MAC entity of the wireless device.

Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for monitoring objects. A sensor positioned on an object (e.g., a door) is configured to measure a strength of a magnetic field of a magnet positioned on an associated object (e.g., the door frame). The measurements of the strength of the magnetic field made by the sensor may change over time (e.g., may decrease) due to changes in the positioning or alignment of the sensor or magnet. The positioning or alignment of the sensor or magnet may change due to use of the object (e.g., use of the door). One or more thresholds used by the sensor to determine the status of an object (e.g., to determine whether the door is open or closed) may be adjusted based on changes to the measurements over time.

Abstract

Encoding and/or decoding a block of a video frame may be based on a previously decoded reference block in the same frame or a different frame. The reference block may be indicated by a block vector (BV). A block vector difference (BVD) predictor may be used to make predictions about the magnitude of a BVD. The BVD predictor may be selected from BVD candidates, which may be pruned based on costs associated with them. Pruning the BVD candidates may improve additional predictions and thus improve the compression efficiency of the predictions. A motion vector difference (MVD) predictor may be used to make predictions about the magnitude of an MVD. The MVD may be used with a motion vector predictor (MVP) to indicate a motion vector (MV).

Abstract

Technologies are provided for identification of cyberattack campaigns. Cyberattack campaigns are represented by temporal graphs based on detection events representing suspicious activities in a computer network. Temporal relationships and property relationships among the detection events dictate the node and edge structure of a temporal graph representing a cyberattack campaign. By tracking how those relationships change over time, changes to the node and edge structure of the temporal graph can be determined. Those changes reveal the dynamics of the cyberattack campaign by identifying time-dependent changes in the connections across multiple network entities that are involved in the cyberattack campaign. Accordingly, the temporal graph may represent the entire evolution of a cyberattack campaign since its inception in a computer network.

Abstract

A wireless device may communicate with a base station by using overlapping transmissions. A transmission such as a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission (e.g., comprising uplink control information (UCI)) may be multiplexed in a repetition of a transmission such as a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission. Information such as a channel state information (CSI) report may be multiplexed in a repetition of a transmission such as a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission. A rule may be applied to indicate/determine which repetition, of a plurality of repetitions, comprises multiplexed information (e.g., which PUSCH repetition comprises UCI). The rule may comprise including the multiplexed information in a transmission associated with at least one of: a lowest (or highest) frequency or range of frequencies, a lowest (or highest) starting (or ending) resource block, a lowest (or highest) transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state, a lowest (or highest) TCI state index, a lowest (or highest) panel or panel index, and/or any other parameter/indicator that may differentiate a transmission (including the multiplexed information) from other transmission(s). A transmission such as a power headroom report may be multiplexed in a transmission such as a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission. A rule may be applied to indicate/determine a value/parameter associated with a transmission. For example, the rule may be used to indicate/determine a value of a power headroom report that may indicate a pathloss reference signal used to determine the power headroom report. The rule may comprise indicating/determining a value/parameter associated with a transmission using at least one of: a lowest (or highest) frequency or range of frequencies, a lowest (or highest) starting (or ending) resource block, a lowest (or highest) transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state, a lowest (or highest) TCI state index, a lowest (or highest) panel or panel index, and/or any other parameter/indicator that may differentiate transmissions. Overlapping transmissions may comprise a plurality of transmissions of a same type/channel, such as a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission, etc. A rule may be applied to indicate/determine power prioritization for the overlapping transmissions. For example, a rule may be used to indicate which of overlapping transmissions of a same type/channel (e.g., PUSCH, PUCCH, etc.) may be dropped or transmitted using a reduced power if the overlapping transmissions would otherwise exceed a power threshold. The rule may comprise indicating/determining power prioritization for overlapping transmissions based on at least one of: a lowest (or highest) frequency or range of frequencies, a lowest (or highest) starting (or ending) resource block, a lowest (or highest) transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state, a lowest (or highest) TCI state index, a lowest (or highest) panel or panel index, and/or any other parameter/indicator that may differentiate overlapping transmissions.
