Abstract:

A method for implementing soft constraints in scheduling comprises receiving a description of circuit behavior. The description is un-timed. A scheduling solution is generated for use in scheduling the description. The scheduling solution includes scheduling variables and an objective function. The scheduling variables schedule the time of at least one operation. The objective function includes a penalty term and constraints comprising at least one hard constraint and at least one soft constraint. The constraints are created on the scheduling variables. The penalty term comprises a slack variable representing violations of the constraints. The penalty term measures the design cost of violating the soft constraint. Following generation of the scheduling solution, the description is scheduled by applying the scheduling solution to the description. Timing information of the description is provided as an output of the scheduling.

H04W 76/28

Abstract:

A method for operating an access node includes sending to a user equipment (UE) configuration information of a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode including DRX-ON periods for sending physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) to the UE, and configuration information for an uplink transmission associated with a DRX-ON period, the uplink transmission is configured for beam quality confirmation of a PDCCH transmitted during the DRX-ON period associated with the uplink transmission, receiving the uplink transmission, wherein a receive beam used to receive the uplink transmission and a transmit beam used to transmit the PDCCH transmitted during the DRX-ON period are beam correspondent, and determining a beam quality measurement for a channel between the access node and the UE in accordance with the received uplink transmission.

International Classification:

H04W 24/08
H04W 76/28

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method includes sending, by an access node, to a user equipment (UE) configuration information for a beam quality reference signal (BQRS) that is associated with a discontinuous reception (DRX)-ON period used for sending a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) to the UE, wherein the BQRS has a spatial quasi-collocated (QCL) relationship with either the PDCCH or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of the PDCCH. The method further includes sending, by the access node, the BQRS to the UE.

Abstract:

Embodiments of the disclosure encompass methods and compositions related to cancer treatment with particular immune effector cells as adoptive immunotherapy and/or with soluble proteins to which the immune effector cells are able to bind. In some cases, the soluble proteins are molecular adaptors that allow targeting of cancer cells that lack expression of a tumor antigen to which the adoptive immunotherapy is directed. In some embodiments, the soluble proteins are exogenously provided as cytokine-cytokine receptor pairs that improve adoptive immunotherapy.
