Title: Cable theft prevention method, cable theft prevention structure, and trough wiring
Inventor: NAOTO WADA
IPC: H02G9/04
Filed: 2016-07-01
Abstract: A cable 11 is installed in a trough body 3. An elastic member 7, which is a cable-pressing member, is provided between a trough lid 5 and the cable 11. One end surface (upper surface) of the elastic member 7 contacts the reverse surface of the trough lid 5. The other end surface (lower surface) of the elastic member 7 is in contact with the upper surface of the cable 11. The elastic member 7 is pressed from the reverse surface of the trough lid 5. As a result, the elastic member 7 presses the cable 11 while elastically deforming. Having the elastic member 7 press the cable 11 causes the elastic member 7 to act as a resistance when the cable 11 is pulled out from one end, making it possible to resist the tensile force acting on the cable 11. Using a foamed plastic body for the elastic member makes it possible to easily secure the trough lid and adjust the pressing force

Title: Improvements in and relating to HARQ in a non-terrestrial network
Inventor: MYTHRI HUNUKUMBURE
IPC: H04W28/04
Filed: 2020-03-31
Abstract: A HARQ method for use in a non-terrestrial network, NTN, comprises a base station, gNB, transmitting one of a predetermined number of messages to a User Equipment, UE, the UE receiving one of the messages and transmitting to the gNB a Channel Quality Indicator, CQI, message, the gNB receiving the CQI message and, in response to a particular configuration of the CQI message, terminating the transmission of any remaining messages. The system may therefore prevent sending unnecessary retransmissions, saving energy and radio resources. Each message may fit into a single transport block and is reflected in a single packet in the physical layer. The configuration of the CQI message is either a setting related to modulation coding scheme, indicative of an SNR of a reconstructed package, formed through chase combining or a change from a prior CQI message. If the message is larger than a single packet, only the last packet of the message is considered. The UE may be a mMTC device. The base station may transmit a sleep message if the transmission is terminated, the sleep may be initiated by an eDRX timer. The eDRX timer may over-ride any existing cDRX timer at the UE.
