| 1st Invent: | Brian J Andrich (San Francisco, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=4, M=12 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | In some implementations, a computing device can present alight notifications to a user when the user (e.g., user device) is approaching a public transit stop where the user should depart the public transit vehicle the user is currently occupying. For example, a user may use a user device to generate a public transit route that includes a starting location, a sequence of public transit stops, and a destination location. While traversing the transit route, the user may need to exit public transit vehicle (e.g., to reach the destination location, to switch transit lines, etc.). The user device can identify transit stops along the route where the user should exit a transit vehicle and present notifications prompting the user to exit the transit vehicle at the upcoming stop as the user device approaches the identified transit stops. |

| 1st Invent: | Paul Costa (Sunnyvale, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Transitioning between a high-resolution input mode, such as a mouse-based interface, and a low-resolution input mode, such as a touch-based interface, is described. A change of orientation of a touch screen between a first orientation and a second orientation is detected. Transitioning between the two input modes and corresponding user interfaces (UIs) is based on the detected change of orientation. A change of orientation can be detected with one or more sensors, such as an accelerometer, position sensors, etc. Transitioning from one mode to another can include modifying an item displayed in the UI of the one mode into a corresponding item displayed in the UI of the other mode. The modifying can include enlarging/reducing, obscuring/unobscuring, moving, etc. For example, an item can be obscured by the visual effect of sliding it off of the screen. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A cache subsystem is disclosed. The cache subsystem includes a cache configured to store information in cache lines arranged in a plurality of ways. A requestor circuit generates a request to access a particular cache line in the cache. A prediction circuit is configured to generate a prediction of which of the ways includes the particular cache line. A comparison circuit verifies the prediction by comparing a particular address tag associated with the particular cache line to a cache tag corresponding to a predicted one of the ways. Responsive to determining that the prediction was correct, a confirmation indication is stored indicating the correct prediction. For a subsequent request for the particular cache line, the cache is configured to forego a verification of the prediction that the particular cache line is included in the one of the ways based on the confirmation indication. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | This disclosure is directed to reducing output voltage distortions of Variable Gain Amplifiers (VGAs). A VGA may include a number of amplifiers each providing a portion of a total gain of the VGA. For example, a processing circuit may select one or more of the amplifiers of the VGA to provide the output signal with a selected gain. However, the selected amplifiers may provide amplified signals with one or more distortion signals when receiving a bias voltage. Systems and methods are described to reduce or cancel the distortion signals of the selected amplifiers by providing a subthreshold nonzero bias voltage (e.g., a weak voltage) to the remaining (e.g., non-selected) amplifiers of the VGA. For example, the non-selected amplifiers may receive the weak voltage to provide distortion signals with similar voltage amplitude and out of phase compared to the distortion signals of the selected amplifiers. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | This application sets forth techniques for dynamically managing a shared provisioning electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) for a wireless device. A shared (non-unique) provisioning eSIM is installed in the wireless device to provide limited functionality connectivity to services, such as for device activation and user eSIM provisioning. The shared provisioning eSIM includes records of IMSI values organized into groups of IMSI pools and priorities for selecting IMSI values for configuring the shared provisioning eSIM. An on-device shared provisioning SIM/eSIM controller resident on a cellular baseband processor of the wireless device selects and configures the shared provisioning eSIM with IMSI values based on the priorities and on results from scanning for available public land mobile networks (PLMNs). The shared provisioning eSIM can be re-configured with different IMSI values selected from different IMSI pools until successful registration using the configured provisioning eSIM occurs or a maximum number or retries occurs. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | A user equipment (UE) associated with a wireless communication network is disclosed. The UE comprises one or more processors configured to form a sidelink group with one or more other UEs associated with the wireless communication network. In some aspects, the one or more processors are further configured to receive a sidelink (SL) groupcast message from a select UE of the one or more other UEs of the sidelink group, the SL groupcast message comprising a SL channel state information (CSI) request and a transmission of a SL channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). In some aspects, the one or more processors are further configured to process the SL groupcast message; and selectively provide an SL CSI report derived based on a measured SL CSI, to the select UE, in response to processing the SL groupcast message. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Systems and methods of providing a V2X communications are generally described. A geographically-limited, operator-independent mapping table is used that maps between groups of V2X applications each associated with a different application category and a different RAT preferred for the V2X application category. Each grouping is based on fulfillment of one or more KP Is for the associated V2X application category. Multiple RA Ts are prioritized if able to fulfill the KP Is. The mapping table is modified based on the RATs supported by the V2X UE. Carrier aggregation is used when simultaneous transmission on different RATs is desired. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | An electronic device may include wireless circuitry having one or more radios and one or more antennas. For some device configurations such as during a device low-power mode, a radio (operating in a radio on-off mode) may alternate between on and off states based on a duty cycle to reduce power consumption and increase device battery life. Radio operation in the on-off mode and device operation in the low-power mode may accommodate other radio operations such as emergency broadcast message reception, radio operations under an allocated power budget, user equipment periodic registration and update operations. |

For example, a UE can be configured to add a plurality of padding bits to a transport block (TB) to reach a predetermined slot capacity for one transmission time interval (TTI) associated with UE traffic in response to determining that a parameter associated with the UE traffic meets a condition. The UE can be further configured to transmit the TB over the TTI to the base station and receive a message from the base station. The UE is further configured to change a time domain bandwidth part (TD-BWP) based on the received message. |
