Allocation of the symbols used for BVD magnitude prediction may be based on the total quantity of symbols used for BVD magnitude prediction and the respective quantities of symbols available for prediction of each of the magnitude components. Symbols of a motion vector difference (MVD) likewise may be predicted.

A privacy gateway may communicate with user devices located at a plurality of premises. The privacy gateway may receive a data packet, from one of the user devices, indicating destinations, such as other computing devices, located external to the premises. The privacy gateway may decrypt at least a portion of the data packet to determine that at least a portion of data in the packet is associated with the user device. The privacy gateway may remove the data associated with the user device from the data packet and replace the removed data with data associated with the privacy gateway. The privacy gateway may send the data packet with the replaced data to a destination device. The privacy gateway may receive a response to the data packet from the destination device. The privacy gateway may encrypt a portion of the response and send the response to the user device.

A bandwidth part (BWP) may be associated with a plurality of control resource sets (CORESETs), for example, if the BWP is served by multiple transmission reception points (TRPs) of a base station. A transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state may be configured for one or more CORESETs associated with each TRP of the multiple TRPs. Communication parameters, indicated by the corresponding TCI state(s), may be configured for the particular TRP. Transmission accuracy may be improved.
A base station may communicate with one or more other base stations. A first base station may hand over one or more wireless devices served by its cell to a second base station (e.g., a neighboring base station), for example, to save overall energy consumption in the network. Feedback information (e.g., one or more messages) associated with performance of the second base station after the handover may be provided by the second base station to the first base station help further decision-making related to handing over other wireless device(s).
An access point (AP) may communicate with one or more computing devices (e.g., wireless devices and/or stations (STAs)). Computing devices may transmit without simultaneous transmit-receive (STR) operation, for example, by eliminating target computing device indications in a frame and/or by setting a target computing device rule for allocated computing devices. Instead of using adjacent channels for computing device operation, computing devices may use non-adjacent channels for transmitting and receiving in order to decrease adjacent channel interference.
Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for monitoring of one or more A/V collection devices within a premises. Based on the monitoring, one or more computing devices may determine whether to route or block a data transmission outside a premises. The data transmission may be routed or blocked based on, for example, one or more of the following: whether a transmission window associated with an A/V collection device is open or closed; whether the data transmission is being sent to an authorized destination device; whether the data transmission is encrypted, and the like.
Methods, systems and computing devices are described herein for monitoring a premises when residents or other users are present in order to detect patterns of activity at the premises. Such patterns may comprise, for example, a typical schedule indicating usage of one or more devices by one or more users of the premises. When a user is away or otherwise inactive, commands may be sent to various user devices to make it appear (e.g., to those outside the premises) as if the user is present by simulating and/or recreating the patterns that were previously detected.
A computing device may request service from a service provider, and authorization to receive the service may be based, at least in part, on a network access device that is providing the computing device with network access. The service provider may request a value from the computing device, and the value may be based on address information of the computing device and the network access device.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. A wireless device may inform a base station of a failure of a failure recovery procedure for a secondary cell. The wireless device may include an indicator of the failure in a report providing, or configured to provide, values for signal strength or other characteristic of a downlink signal. The indicator may be in addition to, and/or may replace, one or more indicators of signal strength or other characteristic.

BUFFER STATUS REPORTING FOR TRIGGERED TRANSMISSION OPPORTUNITY SHARING
An access point (AP) may communicate with one or more stations (STAs) (or wireless devices or computing devices). The AP may receive a first frame from a first station. The first frame may comprise a buffer status report (BSR) for a peer-to-peer (P2P) connection of the first STA with a second STA. The AP may send a second frame, where the second frame may indicate a first frequency allocation for use by the first STA and a second identifier of the second STA.
An access point (AP) may communicate with one or more computing devices (e.g., wireless devices and/or stations (STAs)). Computing devices may transmit without simultaneous transmit-receive (STR) operation, for example, by eliminating target computing device indications in a frame and/or by setting a target computing device rule for allocated computing devices. Instead of using adjacent channels for computing device operation, computing devices may use non-adjacent channels for transmitting and receiving in order to decrease adjacent channel interference.

METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PACKAGING AND SENDING CONTENT
A computing device may receive, in a communication session, a request for a first portion of content (e.g., video, audio, audio/video, web-based content, games, applications, data, etc.) at a first representation. The first representation may be associated with a first video resolution. The computing device may send the first portion of the content to the user device at the first representation. The computing device may receive, in the communication session, a second request for a second portion of the content at a second representation. The second representation may be associated with a second video resolution that is different from the first video resolution. The computing device may send, in the communication session, the second portion of the content to the user device at the second representation.
