Title: Improvements in or relating to paging in new radio
Inventor: CAROLINE JACTAT
IPC: H04W68/02
Filed: 2017-09-11
Abstract: In a wireless system in which transmissions to a UE take place using beam sweeping mode, a paging related transmission is sent to the UE on a transmission beam associated with the UE. The page related transmission may be a paging indication (PI), a paging message (PM) or both. The associated transmission may be signalled by a paging indication, a higher layer configuration, a beam registration procedure or according to a previously used transmission beam. The PI may convey a schedule and this schedule may include at least one of a timing and frequency. If the UE is in an inactive or idle state it may be registered on a specific beam of a specific cell for paging. The last registered beam of the UE may be sent from the core network via an interface (i.e. NG, Xn). The associated beam for a PM transmission may be derived by a base station and the UE according to the last beams that were directed by the gNB and acknowledged by the UE in a physical (PHY) channel (i.e. PDSCH, PUCCH).

Title: Cloud system for controlling outdoor grill with mobile application
Inventor: MICHAEL COLSTON
IPC: H04L12/64
Filed: 2016-04-08
Abstract: Embodiments are directed to communicating with and controlling operation of electronically-controlled appliances. In one scenario, a computer system receives a first input from a computing system indicating that an electronically-controlled appliance is permitted to communicate with a cloud computing platform. The computer system generates a notification that is to be sent to a software application, where the software application is configured to control functions of the electronically-controlled appliance. The computer system transmits the generated notification to the software application, where the generated notification indicates that the cloud computing platform is communicably connected to the electronically-controlled appliance. The computer system then receives a second input from the software application indicating that specified functions are to be performed on the electronically-controlled appliance, and transmits instructions to the electronically-controlled appliance to perform the specified functions. These functions are then interpreted and carried out by a hardware controller on the electronically-controlled appliance.
