A method is disclosed for determining an appropriate transmit power of a cell based on a desired coverage distance, comprising: initializing, at a cell, a cell reference signal transmit power at a high power level; broadcasting a cell signal power measure to require a high signal power level for user devices attempting to connect to the cell; progressively lowering the cell signal power measure at the cell; broadcasting the lowered cell signal power measure; deriving a plurality of user equipment (UE) attach request distances based on a plurality of propagation delay statistics derived from UE attach requests received at the cell; comparing the plurality of UE attach request distances against a maximum distance to obtain a number of UE attach requests received from UEs physically located beyond the maximum distance; and setting the cell reference signal transmit power based on the number of UE attach requests received from beyond the maximum distance, thereby iteratively determining an appropriate cell reference signal transmit power based on the maximum distance and on UE attach requests received at the cell.

Solutions pertaining to improvement in the security of a Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) procedure are proposed. An access point (AP) determines that a WPS procedure is activated. In response, the AP varies a transmission (Tx) power in transmitting one or more WPS management frames during the WPS procedure. Moreover, the AP configures one or more credentials to a station (STA) in response to receiving one or more management frames from the STA.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may transmit an indication of first and second configurations for sounding reference signal (SRS) transmissions during first and second transmission time intervals (TTIs) having different durations. A user equipment (UE) may identify an SRS to be transmitted and determine a configuration for the SRS transmission based on the TTI duration and the received indication of the first and second configurations. The UE may then transmit the SRS based on the configuration. A base station may receive an SRS during a TTI and may determine a channel quality based at least in part on the SRS. Additionally, a device may identify data to transmit during a TTI, determine a number of resource elements available for transmission of the data during a TTI, and determine a transport block size (TBS) for the data transmission based on the available resource elements.

Methods are described that perform a dispatched consumer-to-store return or swap logistics operation for an item being replaced using a modular autonomous bot apparatus assembly and a dispatch server. The method begins with receiving a return operation dispatch command that includes identifier information, transport parameters, and designated pickup information for the item being replaced/returned, along with authentication information related to an authorized supplier of the item being replaced. Modular components of the bot apparatus are verified to be compatible with the dispatched logistics operation. The MAM then autonomously causes the bot apparatus to move to the designated pickup location, notifies the authorized supplier of an approaching pickup, receives supplier authorization input to permissively allow access to a payload area within the bot apparatus, monitors loading as the item being replaced is received along with return documentation, and then autonomously causes movement of the bot apparatus back to the origin location.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a transmission power for a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmission by a base station, the indicated transmission power different than a default transmission power for SSB transmissions by the base station. The UE may determine a received power with which the SSB transmission is received at the UE. The UE may receive one or more downlink transmissions from the base station based at least in part on the received power for the SSB transmission and a difference between the default transmission power and the indicated transmission power for the SSB transmission.

Methods for performing power management of a multi-interface transponder (MIT) device, e.g., such as positional tag device. The MIT device may transition between various power states, e.g., based on detected events, such as detecting movement of the MIT device, receiving a wakeup signal, receiving an indication of a transition in transportation mode, and/or detecting that the MIT device may be lost, such as based on a lack of contact with another device for more than a threshold period of time.

According to one embodiment applicable to the present invention, a terminal may receive a phase tracking reference signal from multiple demodulation reference signal port groups on the basis of information on whether power boosting is applied to a phase tracking reference signal according to the number of layers of each of the multiple demodulation reference signal port groups from a base station.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for synchronization signal block reception and synchronization signal block transmission. One apparatus for synchronization signal block reception includes a receiver that receives multiple synchronization signal blocks. The multiple synchronization signal blocks have different power levels corresponding to at least two synchronization signal blocks of the multiple synchronization signal blocks.

A location of a target associated with a first system is determined at the first system at a first time. A signal is constructed at the first system where the data of the signal includes a unique identifier, an identifier indicative of a collision avoidance nature of the signal, and the location of the target. The signal is broadcast from the first system. the broadcasting causes a second system to receive the signal; compute a likelihood of a collision between the first system and the second system using the location from the signal, a velocity of the first system, a location of the second system at the first time, and a velocity of the second system at the first time; and send a notification from the second system about the likelihood of collision when the likelihood of collision exceeding a threshold likelihood.
