| 1st Invent: | Yushu Zhang (Beijing, ) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Techniques discussed herein can facilitate inter-cell interference mitigation. One example aspect is a user equipment (UE), configured to receive a network assistance indication associated with an interfering signal, where the interfering signal interferes with a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission. A time resource allocation of the interfering signal is different than a time resource allocation of the PDSCH transmission. The UE is further configured to determine an interference and noise covariance estimation mechanism based on the network assistance indication then perform interference and noise covariance estimation based on the noise covariance estimation mechanism. The UE is further configured to perform mitigation of the interfering signal using a mitigation mechanism based on the interference and noise covariance estimation. |

| 1st Invent: | Firouz Behnamfar (Los Gatos, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | First user equipment (UE) exchanges at least a portion of data to be transmitted to a communication network with a second UE on a side channel. The UEs then send the data to the network at increased transmission power by using transmit antennas of both the first and second UEs, instead of just those of the first UE. In some cases, the second UE may transmit a variation of the data sent by the first UE to perform transmit diversity and improve signal-to-noise ratio. To avoid unintended beamforming of the transmissions, the network may mix signals (e.g., having a same symbol) received at the same time period but at different sub-carriers, or mix the signals received at different time periods but at the same sub-carrier. The network may notify the UEs of a phase correction value based on the signals, and the UEs may adjust using the phase correction value. |

| 1st Invent: | Haitong Sun (Cupertino, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing sidelink communications among multiple user equipments (UEs). A UE operates according to a periodical discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle that includes a sidelink on-duration period when the UE is in an active state. The UE is in a power saving state outside the sidelink on-duration period. The UE listens to a Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH) for sidelink communications during the active state. A UE determines the DRX cycle and the sidelink on-duration period of a receiver UE, and sends a message to the receiver UE during one or more slots of the sidelink on-duration period when the receiver UE is in the active state. |

| 1st Invent: | Neha Goel (Herndon, VA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=0 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A processor determines that a UE operates in a DRX cycle including a DRX-on duration followed by a DRX-sleep duration. The processor configures a plurality of periodic uplink CG occasions within the DRX cycle. Each uplink CG occasion supports uplink transmission of a predefined size. The processor reads a data buffer to determine a size of accumulated data. At a given uplink CG occasion, the processor compares the size of accumulated data with an upper threshold data size and a lower threshold data size. Responsive to a first comparison result, the processor transmits the accumulated data over one or more uplink CG occasions starting from the given uplink CG occasion. Responsive to a second comparison result, the processor transmits a BSR at the given uplink CG occasion. Responsive to a third comparison result, the processor transmits neither the accumulated data nor the BSR at the given uplink CG occasion. |

| 1st Invent: | Ian E. O''Connor (Campbell, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A vehicle control system for a vehicle can obtain detected event information of a front steering system and use a rear steering system to maneuver the vehicle. The vehicle control system can obtain fault information and determine, based on the fault information, a new destination (different from the originally-intended destination), and maneuver the vehicle to the new destination. This may include rotating the vehicle and subsequently instructing the rear steering system to maneuver the vehicle to a safe destination. The vehicle may include fully autonomous or semi-autonomous capabilities, and accordingly, the vehicle control system can use the rear steering system to maneuver the vehicle to the alternate destination with little or no passenger input. Other components, including a drivetrain system, a braking system, and a suspension system, can also be used to maneuver the vehicle to the new destination. |

| 1st Invent: | Vikrant Bhakta (Santa Clara, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A display system may include a waveguide and an input coupling prism. The waveguide may have a lateral surface with a deformed region. The prism may couple the light into the waveguide at an angle whereby the light first reflects off the deformed region. The display module may include a display panel that provides the light with planar wavefronts. The display module may include a deformation mitigation structure that distorts the planar wavefronts to produce non-planar wavefronts. The shape of the non-planar wavefronts may be selected to reverse distortion to the wavefronts of the light produced by the first reflection of the light off the deformed region of the lateral surface. This may serve to mitigate distortion in the light produced by the deformed region of the lateral surface and may serve to maximize the sharpness images in the image light provided to an eye box. |

| 1st Invent: | Imran A. Chaudhri (San Francisco, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=5 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | In some implementations, a computing device can be configured to automatically turn off notifications when generating a notification would cause a disturbance or be unwanted by a user. The device can be configured with quiet hours during which notifications that would otherwise be generated by the computing device can be suppressed. In some implementations, quiet hours can be configured as a time period with a start time and an end time. In some implementations, quiet hours can be derived from application data. For example, calendar data, alarm clock data, map data, etc. can be used to determine when quiet hours should be enforced. In some implementations, the device can be configured with exceptions to quiet hour notification suppression. In some implementations, the user can identify contacts to which the quiet hours notification suppression should not be applied. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | In an embodiment, a processor includes hardware circuitry which may be used to authenticate instruction operands. The processor may execute instructions that perform operand authentication both speculatively and non-speculatively. During speculative execution of such instructions, the processor may execute authentication such that no differences in observable state of the processor, relative to authentication result, are detectable via a side channel. During speculative execution, a result of authentication may be deferred until speculative execution of the instruction, and additional instructions, may be completed. Upon resolution of a condition that indicates acceptance of the speculative execution, a speculative execution result may cause a processor exception and stalling of execution at the instruction to be performed. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that improve edge boundary visualization. In some implementations, this involves reducing the appearance of banding that might otherwise be visible by altering the appearance of a pattern that has a gradual change in color, e.g., the appearance of edges between the gradual changes in blues in the sky. In contrast to prior techniques that use random isotropic (any direction) dithering to avoid banding, this method uses an an-isotropic (different in one direction than another) interleaved pattern. For example, the pattern may have an alternating pattern that interleaves adjacent colors in a particular arrangement, such as using a fine-toothed comb-type pattern. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | A wireless communication device receives an average transmission power limit for a time period, and determines a first MTPL for a first time of the time period by setting the first MTPL to the average transmission power limit. The wireless communication device then transmits a signal at the first time using a first transmission power not to exceed the first MTPL. If the first transmission power is less than the first MTPL, then the wireless communication device determines residual transmission power based on a difference between the first MTPL and the first transmission power. The wireless communication device determines a second MTPL for a second time of the time period by adding the residual transmission power to the first MTPL. The wireless communication device then transmits a signal at the second transmission power not to exceed the second MTPL. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | A user equipment (UE), or other network device (e.g., next generation NodeB (gNB)) component can operate to process or configure a search space information element (IE) that is configured with at least one of: a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state identifier (ID) of a TCI, or a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetition field indicating a number of PDCCH repetitions, or a number of UE-specific search space (USS) repetitions for the PDCCH. A UE can perform search space set group (SSSG) beam switching based on one or more TCI states and at least one of: a search space set (SSS) index, an SSSG index, or a beam switching request (BSR) field value. A physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) associated with the search space can be transmitted for beam switching according to a search space information element. |
