Systems and methods support inter-system mobility between LTE and trusted WLAN access networks using an X2′ interface for control and user plane communication. This interface enables seamless handover of a UE’s connection between a WLAN and an (H)eNB in both directions.

Methods and systems are disclosed for a wireless device (WTRU) to determine network slice availability across tracking areas (TAs) within a registration area (RA). The WTRU detects changes in slice access as it moves between TAs and may re-register in a new TA to access a previously unavailable slice.

Patent 12267527 – Occupancy coding using inter prediction in geometry point cloud compression.

An example device for coding point cloud data includes a memory and processors that handle octree-based data. For a current node, if inter prediction or planar mask data is coded, the device skips coding a single occupancy value. It also uses planar mask data from a reference frame to determine context for entropy coding when applicable.

Patent 12267524 – Intra block copy (IntraBC) cost estimation.

A video encoding method determines if a parent unit used IntraBC mode. If not, it computes the current unit’s activity. A 2D search is used for IntraBC cost if activity is high; otherwise, a 1D search is used. The IntraBC cost helps select an optimal encoding mode for encoding the unit.

A system includes a unit that generates trajectory information for moving a workpiece, a control unit that operates a picking device based on this trajectory, and an estimating unit that predicts operation time. The trajectory generator may adjust its computation based on the estimated time.

A control apparatus monitors a manipulator by acquiring force, mass, and trajectory plan data. It estimates expected force or torque at the manipulator’s tip and detects abnormalities by comparing actual and estimated values.
