This disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for association between communication devices. One method includes: sending, by a terminal device to a network device, a first message for establishment of an association relationship between the terminal device and a digital reflection (DR), wherein the first message comprises a first twin-globally unique temporary identity (TWIN-GUTI) of the terminal device, and wherein the first TWIN-GUTI comprises a first temporary identity (DRTI) of the DR and a globally unique identity (GUMEI) of first multi-access edge computing (MEC), and receiving, by the terminal device from the DR, a response message.

Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for displaying future trends of evaporation pond wastewater quantity and quality. A distributed float network is managed using a wastewater evaporation pond management (WEPM) system with an embedded supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. The WEPM collects data, including sensory information, from evaporation ponds. A configuration data upload for remote terminal units (RTUs) managed by the WEPM is automated using the WEPM system and the embedded SCADA system. Evaporation pond wastewater quantity and quality and adherence to environmental standards and regulations are monitored using the WEPM system. Environmental compliance data is collected from the distributed float network. The environmental compliance data collected from the distributed float network managed by the WEPM system is analyzed. A dashboard is provided displaying future trends of the evaporation ponds wastewater quantity and quality.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a device, such as an internet of things (IoT) device, may include a configuration or software (e.g., in baseband) that is common for multiple applications of the device. In some aspects, the device may select a setting for at least some if not each of a set of parameters associated with or defining a device profile of the device based on an application of the device. The device may perform a mapping procedure to map the settings for the parameters associated with the device profile to one or more baseband configurations or baseband handles and the device may customize the baseband of the device using the one or more baseband configurations. As such, the device may operate or communicate using the baseband that is customized based on the device profile and application of the device.

A system is presented for matching user devices with resource devices. User preference and profile information are communicated from user devices to a queue management server. The user preference information is parsed and compared with resource information associated with a plurality of resources. Availability of the resource devices is forecasted based at least in part upon the resource information and resource devices are selected to service user devices based at least in part upon the comparison and the forecast. User devices are added to the end of data queues for the resource devices. The data queues are communicated to the user devices and the resource devices.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for improved content recommendations are described herein. A distribution platform may comprise a system of computing devices, servers, software, etc., that is configured to present media assets (e.g., content) at user devices. In one example embodiment, an analytics subsystem may provide at least one content recommendation to a user device using a classification model. In another example embodiment, the analytics subsystem may train the classification model. In a further example embodiment, the analytics subsystem may provide at least one fallback content recommendation when a recommendation provided by the classification model does not satisfy a threshold level of interest.

Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for media processing. In some examples, an apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry exchanges, with a server device and according to a bidirectional protocol for immersive media, a first plurality of messages that ensures the server device to receive one or more specific characteristics of the apparatus. The processing circuitry receives, from the server device and according to the bidirectional protocol for immersive media, a media stream carrying media content. The media stream includes immersive content and is adapted according to the one or more specific characteristics of the apparatus. The processing circuitry presents the media content from the media stream.

Systems and methods for periodically modifying data privacy elements are provided. The systems and methods may identify a set of data privacy elements. A data privacy element can characterizes a feature of a computing device and can be detectable by a network host. A first artificial profile can be generated by modifying a first data privacy element based on an artificial profile model that defines a relationship associated with one or more constraints between the set of data privacy elements. Subsequent to generating the first artificial profile, a second artificial profile can be generated by periodically modifying a second data privacy element in accordance with the relationship defined by the artificial profile model. The computer device can be masked from being identified by the network host by sending the second artificial profile including the second data privacy element to a requested network location.
