Abstract

In some implementations, a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) transmits an indication of a first wake-up delay value (WUDV) from a first set of candidate WUDVs, and receives a low-power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) configuration indicating a second set of one or more offset values. A first offset value in the second set is a time offset between a first LP-WUS occasion (LO) and a first reference paging occasion (PO). Based on at least one offset value in the second set being larger than or equal to the first WUDV, the WTRU receives an LP-WUS in a second LO determined based on a second offset value in the second set, and a paging downlink control information in a second reference PO based on the LP-WUS and a corresponding paging message. The second offset value is a smallest value in the second set that is larger than or equal to the first WUDV.

Abstract

User Equipments (UEs) may be assigned a set of aggregated component carriers for downlink carrier aggregation and/or carrier selection. Some UEs may be incapable of transmitting uplink signals over all component carriers in their assigned set of aggregated component carriers. In such scenarios, a UE may need to perform SRS switching in order to transmit SRS symbols over all of the component carriers. Embodiments of this disclosure provide various techniques for facilitating SRS switching. For example, a radio resource control (RRC) message may be used to signal a periodic SRS configuration parameter. As another example, a downlink control indication (DCI) message may be used to signal an aperiodic SRS configuration parameter. Many other examples are also provided.

Abstract

A method and apparatus for generating distributed circuit configurations aimed at achieving a target performance goal for a distributed circuit. The method involves a neural network receiving a constant input for a circuit design with fixed dimensions. The neural network outputs a set of probability distributions from which sample circuit configurations are generated. Each configuration corresponds to a unique set of dimensions and is mapped to a physical representation of a potential distributed circuit. Feedback from an evaluator is received, based on the error between the target performance goal and the calculated performance of each potential circuit. The neural network is updated using a statistical loss derived from these evaluations, and the process is repeated until a circuit with the target performance is achieved. An apparatus and non-transitory computer-readable medium are also provided.

Abstract

A system and method for designing multistage circuits. The method includes creating a library of single-stage circuits, each represented by a subgraph, and classifying these circuits into sets based on their input and output connections (110). A target reward for a desired multistage circuit configuration is established. The method involves generating sample configurations for the multistage circuit using a weight resonant network that operates based on probability distributions. These configurations are evaluated using a circuit simulator and multistage circuit evaluator that provide feedback, including loss functions, to refine the weight resonant network. Parameters of the network are updated based on this feedback to optimize the final circuit design (115). Additional aspects include utilizing a graph convolutional network to transfer circuit design knowledge to different topologies and technologies (120).

Abstract

Computer implemented methods and systems for improving sharpness of a ground truth blurry image of a scene are disclosed. First and second neural networks respectively produce first and second outputs based upon which a blurry image is rendered. A difference between the rendered blurry image and the ground truth blurry image is used to train the first and the second neural networks. This process is iteratively repeated until a specified criterion is satisfied. An image of the scene that has improved sharpness is then rendered based on respective trainable parameters of the first neural network after the specified criterion is satisfied. During the training, the rendering of the rendered blurry image based on the first and the second outputs of the first and the second neural networks, includes performing multi-ray-per-pixel tracing and weighed averaging for each of at least some of the plurality of pixels in the rendered blurry image.

Abstract

A segment routing (SR) segment endpoint node receives an SR over Internet Protocol version 6 (SRv6) packet from a first node of a delay tolerant network (DTN). The SRv6 packet includes an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) header, a segment routing header (SRH) that includes a segment list, and a packet payload. The node determines that a destination address (DA) in the IPv6 header matches a forwarding information base (FIB) entry that represents a locally instantiated SRv6 SID and that the locally instantiated SRv6 SID is bound to a store and forward local endpoint behavior. The node stores the SRv6 packet in a local buffer and determines a time to transmit the SRv6 packet according to the store and forward local endpoint behavior. The node forwards, based on the time to transmit, the SRv6 packet to a second node of the DTN.

Abstract

A system and method for performing in-network aggregation of a DCN is provided. A switch receives a packet having a source bitmap indicating servers of the DCN with data in the packet. An inclusion bitmap is generated by performing an AND of the source bitmap and a configuration bitmap. Servers to be aggregated are indicated by bits in the configuration bitmap. When the inclusion bitmap is all zeroes, the data packet is forwarded to its destination address. If the inclusion bitmap includes any ones, the packet is stored. A completion bitmap is generated by an OR of the source bitmap and an aggregation bitmap. Servers with previously stored packets are indicated by bits in the aggregation bitmap. The completion bitmap is stored as a new aggregation bitmap. If the configuration bitmap and the aggregation bitmap are equal, stored packets may be aggregated and sent to a target address..

Abstract

A system and method for performing load balancing in a communication network is provided. A source edge node obtains a latency measurement value for each path of a tunnel coupling the source edge node to a destination edge node of the network. Obtaining the latency measurement value for a path comprises adding a transmission timestamp to packets sent via each path to the destination edge node. The source edge node receives packets from the destination edge nodes that include a latency measurement value, corresponding to a measured transmission latency of the packet sent to the destination edge node. The source switch stores associations between the paths and their latency measurement values in a path latency table. The source edge node forwards a packets to a destination node coupled to the destination edge node by selecting a path associated with a minimum latency measurement value in the path latency table.
