A method comprising: accessing a response mapping defining a set of safety-critical functions associated with a safety-critical latency threshold and a set of safety responses, each safety response corresponding to a safety-critical function; executing a time-synchronization protocol with a transmitting system to calculate a clock reference; accessing a safety message schedule indicating an expected arrival time for each safety message in a series of safety messages based on the clock reference; for each safety message in the series of safety messages, calculating a latency of the safety message based on an arrival time of the safety message and the expected arrival time; and in response to a latency of a current safety message in the series of safety messages exceeding the safety-critical latency threshold, initiating the safety response corresponding to the safety-critical function for each safety-critical function in the set of safety-critical functions.

An integrated circuit may include a receiver configured to receive a first data signal based on an m.sup.th (where m is an integer of 1 or more) transmitter preset setting among a plurality of transmitter preset settings through an external link, and equalize and sample the first data signal; a receiver setting table including a plurality of combinations including values of a plurality of parameters related to the receiver; and a receiver control circuit configured to sequentially select the plurality of combinations with reference to the receiver setting table and set the plurality of parameters with the selected combinations.

Aspects relate to analog-to-digital conversion of an analog signal. The resolution (number of bits) and/or the quantization levels of the analog-to-digital conversion may be configurable. A device may configure its analog-to-digital conversion parameters. For example, a first device may reduce the number of bits for its analog-to-digital converter to reduce power consumption. In this case, the first device may transmit an indication of selected analog-to-digital conversion parameters to a second device that will transmit to the first device. In this way, the second device may take appropriate action, if needed. A device may request another device to use certain analog-to-digital conversion parameters. For example, a first device may determine that a second device should use a larger number of bits for its analog-to-digital conversion process to improve the quality of the communication between the first and second devices.

A method of communicating information from a sensor concerning a received signal, comprising: responsive to receiving by at least one detecting sensor, during a defined time interval, data indicative of an entire data of a frequency band received by it during the defined time interval, comprising at least one signal emitted at least one emitter, and to detecting of the emitted signal by the at least one detecting sensor, sending from the sensor assistance information corresponding to the detected emitted signal during the defined time interval, to at least one non-detecting sensor. This information can be utilized by the non-detecting sensor to perform an action with respect to data indicative of an entire data of the frequency band received by the non-detecting sensor during a corresponding defined time interval, the action corresponding to at least one emitted signal received by the non-detecting sensor during the corresponding defined time interval.

This application provides a coding method and a communication apparatus, which may be applied to wireless data transmission. The method includes: A sending apparatus sends indication information to a receiving apparatus, where the indication information indicates first information and second information. The first information indicates a coding scheme of to-be-encoded data, and the coding scheme includes a coding matrix for channel coding and a channel coding mode. The second information indicates a distribution feature of the to-be-encoded data. The sending apparatus performs channel coding on the to-be-encoded data based on the coding scheme, to obtain encoded data. The receiving apparatus receives the indication information sent by the sending apparatus, and the receiving apparatus performs channel decoding on received data based on the indication information, to obtain decoded data.

The present application relates to wireless devices, and more particularly to apparatus, systems, and methods for radio link monitoring beam management in 5G-New Radio (NR) for Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC). In one embodiment, a method for signal quality monitoring in a wireless system is disclosed, comprising: determining, by a user device, to connect to the wireless system in a high reliability mode, and determining, based on the determination to connect to the wireless system in the high reliability mode, to use, by the user device, a first pair of out-of-sync (OOS) and in-sync (IS) block error rate (BLER) threshold values and/or a first set of transmission parameters for radio link monitoring (RLM), rather than a second pair of OOS and IS BLER threshold values or a second set of transmission parameters that are configured for use in a non-high reliability mode.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe apparatuses, methods and machine-readable storage medium for beam reporting, beam indication and scheduling of data transmission during beam management.

This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for interpreting reserved bits and values associated with different releases of a wireless communication protocol. In some implementations, a wireless communication device may determine whether to terminate or continue reception of a physical layer protocol convergence protocol (PLCP) protocol data unit (PPDU) if it detects a reserved bit in the physical layer preamble set to an unsupported value (such as a value different than what is defined by a version or release of the wireless communication protocol supported by the wireless communication device). In some other implementations, a wireless communication device may determine whether to terminate or continue reception of a PPDU if it detects a field in the physical layer preamble set to a reserved value (such as defined by a version or release of the wireless communication protocol supported by the wireless communication device).

Disclosed are techniques for determining tone patterns and associated overlay codes for transmission of reference signals. A tone pattern (e.g., with each tone pattern occupying a resource element in a resource block) can be determined for a reference signal for use in wireless communications between a receiving device and a transmitting device. The tone pattern can include an irregular combination of resource elements in one or more resource blocks for the reference signal. The resource elements can be shared by a plurality of antennas for communication of one or more reference signals between at least the user equipment and the base station. An overlay code may be determined for the tone pattern. Information associated with the transmission of the reference signal using the tone pattern and the overlay code may be communicated by the receiving device.

A communication system includes remote units to exchange RF signals with mobile devices, at least some of the RF signals comprising information destined for, or originating from, a mobile device. The communication system also includes at least one controller or controller resource communicatively coupled to an external network and configured to assign airlink resources to the user equipment. The at least one controller or controller resource is separated from the remote units by an intermediate network comprising a switched Ethernet network over which data corresponding to the information is carried between the at least one controller or controller resource and the remote units. Two or more of the remote units are configured to belong to the same communication cell. The at least one controller or controller resource is configured to assign two or more of the user equipment in the same communication cell to simultaneously use a same airlink resource.
