Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first device may generate an indication of an error vector magnitude (EVM) capability of the first device, where the first device is configured to transmit a positioning reference signal. The first device may transmit the indication to a second device. Numerous other aspects are described.

A connection establishing system and method for a mesh network is provided, the mesh network includes a first transceiver and a second transceiver, the method includes performing a secure connection procedure including: transmitting, by the second transceiver, a secure connection request signal including a identifier to the first transceiver. The first transceiver encrypts the authentication message by using a public key corresponding to the identifier to generate a secure connection response signal and transmit the same to the second transceiver, the second transceiver decrypts the secure connection response signal by a private key to generate a decryption message and transmits an association request signal including the decryption message to the first transceiver. The first transceiver receives the association request signal, and determines whether the decryption message matches with the authentication message; if so, the first transceiver is allowed to establish a secure connection with the second transceiver.

This invention discloses a multimode interconnection interface controller for a converged network, which comprises a SERDES element responsible for serial/parallel conversion, a LANE_TXCLK element responsible for generating a transmit clock, a SERDES initialization element responsible for link training and rate negotiation, and a PCS_EB coding element and an PCS_AF coding element responsible for physical layer coding of messages. The link training and rate negotiation are completed automatically via the shared SERDES initialization element. More universality and flexibility are provided for interconnection chip design by the PCS_EB coding element. The PCS_AF coding element is provided to reduce message penetration delay. The multimode interconnection interface controller is integrated in a single chip. Through flexible configuration, the single chip can meet transmission requirements of dedicated high speed networks and Ethernet networks. The multimode interconnection interface controller also supports interconnection of data center Ethernet and high performance computing high speed network.

Provided are a link establishment method and apparatus and a computer-readable storage medium. The link establishment method includes: exchanging optical link auto-negotiation information with a terminal device through an optical link auto-negotiation channel; and in a case where exchanging the optical link auto-negotiation information is finished, establishing at least one of a traffic data channel or an optical link auto-negotiation channel; where the optical link auto-negotiation channel is independent of the traffic data channel or the optical link auto-negotiation channel; and the optical link auto-negotiation information includes at least one of information about an operating wavelength channel of the terminal device, an enabled or disabled state of forward error correction with the terminal device, a forward error correction type with the terminal device, or an operating mode of the auxiliary management channel.

Group actions may be performed on behalf of multiple users based in part on the suitability of the various user devices of the different users to perform such group actions. Different user devices may also be used to generate different query intent determinations for a query such that the query intent determination made by a particular user device may be used to fulfill the query.

The invention relates to method for transmitting data between a first subscriber (22) and a second subscriber (24) using at least one conversion unit (10), wherein the first subscriber (22), the second subscriber (24) and the conversion unit (10) are configured in each case for wireless near-field data transmission with a first transmission method and a second transmission method. The second transmission method has a plurality of variants, wherein the first subscriber (22) and the second subscriber (24) are configured in each case to carry out only those variants which are incompatible with one another. An identifier is transmitted by the conversion unit (10) in a first step using the first transmission method. This identifier of the conversion unit (10) is received by the subscribers (22, 24) using the first transmission method. A direct wireless connection is furthermore set up between the subscriber (22) and the subscriber (24) using the first transmission method, wherein identifications of the subscribers (22, 24) and/or the identifier of the conversion unit (10) are exchanged.

A network re-timer with forward error correction handling is disclosed. An example network re-timer includes a first receiver to receive data from a first connected device and to re-time the data to generate re-timed data, a first transmitter to transmit the re-timed data to a second connected device, a first auto-negotiation handler communicatively coupled to the first receiver to control a first forward error correction mode for communications with the first connected device, and a second auto-negotiation handler communicatively coupled to the first transmitter to control a second forward error correction mode for communications with the second connected device, wherein the first forward error correction mode is different than the second forward error correction mode.
