Patent №: 12120747 (October 15, 2024) – Beam indications during random access procedures.

User equipment (UE) monitors beams, identifies multiple candidates that meet a channel quality threshold, and sends an indication. The UE may send one or multiple random access messages. The base station selects a beam, and the UE connects using it.

Patent №: 12120729 (October 15, 2024) – Techniques for multiplexing sidelink feedback on a high priority physical uplink shared channel. A user equipment (UE) receives scheduling for an uplink data message on a high-priority PUSCH, overlapping with sidelink feedback on a PUCCH. The base station signals whether the feedback can be multiplexed with the uplink message, and the UE does so if allowed.

Patent №: 12120719 (October 15, 2024) – Sidelink channel access using reference signal received power and signal to interference and noise ratio measurements. This disclosure relates to wireless communication where a user equipment (UE) determines resource availability based on measurement information, including self-interference from UE transmissions. The UE uses a resource from the set of available resources based on this determination.

Patent №: 12120685 (October 15, 2024) – Direct current location reporting in sideline. This disclosure relates to wireless communication where a first user equipment (UE) shares DC location information with a second UE for their communication link. The first UE then uses this link to communicate via sidelink, based on the DC location.

Patent №: 12120664 (October 15, 2024) – Configuration and signalling techniques for scheduled wireless communications. This disclosure describes methods for relaying communications between devices using scheduled resource grants, which provide resources and prioritize relayed messages. The grants may also include energy harvesting (EH) parameters, such as time-switching or power-splitting, to allocate resources between data transmission and energy harvesting.

Patent №: 12120574 (October 15, 2024) – Relay switching for a remote user equipment. This disclosure relates to wireless communication where a remote user equipment (UE) receives a measurement reference channel configuration from a source relay. The UE transmits a reference channel based on this configuration and may receive a command from the source relay to switch to a target relay, based on the measurement of the transmitted reference channel.

Patent №: 12119940 (October 15, 2024) – Hybrid automatic repeat request processes for sub-band full duplex. A UE identifies slots for HARQ processes in a frame with sub-band full duplex (SBFD) and time division duplex (TDD) slots. Based on control info in a first slot, the UE calculates offsets to find a second slot for communication. Certain slot types may be excluded, and offsets may vary by HARQ process and priority.

Yue Wang

Yue Wang received a B.S. degree in electronic engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 2006, and a Ph.D. degree from the Graduate University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, in 2012.

He did postdoc research in the Department of Computer Science at Peking University, Beijing, between 2015 and 2017.

Yue is now the director of the multimedia foundation team at ByteDance Ltd since 2018.

His research interests include image and video coding, processing, and transmission technology.

Patent №: 12120932 (October 15, 2024) – Display panel and display apparatus. The first type data lines, near the display edge, have a first sub-data line connected to the source or drain, a conductive connection line, and a second sub-data line. The lines are separated by insulating layers, with the second sub-data line closer to the panel’s center.

Patent №: 12120419 (October 15, 2024) – Image processing method, terminal and storage medium. An image processing method for a selfie preview scenario is provided. In this method, a selfie preview image is generated when a user takes a selfie using a terminal, allowing the user to view the preview image. The terminal may feature a foldable screen.

Patent №: 12120340 (October 15, 2024) – Constraints for usage of updated motion information. This disclosure relates to constraints on using updated motion information in video processing. The method involves determining original motion information, updating it based on a specific prediction mode, and performing conversion using the updated information. The prediction modes may include bi-directional optical flow (BIO), DMVR, FRUC, or template matching techniques.

Patent №: 12120314 (October 15, 2024) – Motion candidate list construction using neighboring block information. A visual media processing method includes determining the availability of a second video block during the conversion between a first video block and its bitstream representation. This determination is based on a rule linked to the coding mode of the first block, which disallows using the second block’s motion information in the merge list for the first block by treating it as unavailable.

Patent №: 12120313 (October 15, 2024) – Restriction of applicability for intra block copy mode. A video processing method includes determining whether the intra block copy (IBC) mode is enabled for a current video block during conversion. In IBC mode, a prediction block is calculated using a block vector within the same picture as the current block. The determination is based on a rule regarding block dimensions, and the conversion is performed accordingly.

Patent №: 12120304 (October 15, 2024) – Use restrictions for cross-component prediction. A video processing method is provided that determines whether a first coding tool is enabled for a video unit during conversion between the video and its bitstream. A rule specifies that the first and second coding tools, one of which includes a sign data hiding tool, are mutually exclusive. The method then performs the conversion based on this determination.

Patent №: 12120302 (October 15, 2024) – Coded representation of history-based motion vector prediction tables. The method uses a rule that incorporates block vector information from previously processed blocks in the HMVP table. The current video block is predicted using a block vector representing its displacement from another region in the same picture, and the conversion is performed using the HMVP table.

Patent №: 12120297 (October 15, 2024) – Sample padding in adaptive loop filtering. A video processing method involves determining how to pad a set of samples across boundaries of multiple video regions during an adaptive loop filter process for a current sample. The method then performs the video-to-bitstream conversion based on this padding determination.

Patent №: 12120680 (October 15, 2024) – Downlink control information for retransmission of semi-persistently scheduled physical downlink shared channels. This disclosure describes a method for retransmitting downlink control information (DCI) in semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) that were not successfully received. A user equipment (UE) receives DCI that schedules the retransmission of multiple PDSCHs with hybrid automatic retransmission request (HARQ) identifiers, and then receives the retransmitted PDSCHs.
