Patent GB-2576723-A (GB)
Title: Improved access to random resource units by a plurality of BSSs
Inventor: Stéphane Baron
IPC: H04W74/00
Filed: 2018-08-28
Abstract: An Access Point AP sends a trigger frame triggering a Multi-User MU transmission made of Resource Units RUs (in an IEEE 802.11ax wireless network). The trigger frame allocates one random resource unit to a specific group of stations by specifying the corresponding Basic Service Set Identifier BSSID or BSS index in an AID12 subfield associated, within the trigger frame, with the random resource unit. The stations of this group thus contend for access to this specific random RU and can then send, over the random resource unit, a data frame. The first data frame includes a receiver address, RA, subfield set to the BSSID of the first group to allow the AP to efficiently process it. Responsive to receiving the data frame, the AP sends an acknowledgment frame. The latter includes a transmitter address, TA, subfield set to the BSSID of the specific group, thereby allowing the transmitting station to efficiently check whether the data frame has been correctly received. Each group may be managed by a virtual access point VAP implemented in the physical access point.

Abstract: A method for updating a patient registration during a surgical procedure. The surgical procedure uses an optical navigation system (205, fig.2) for optically tracking a patient reference object in a real world space and includes intra-operatively acquiring a first set of image data 602 depicting a region of interest on the patient while the first registration is intact. The region of interest includes at least one anatomical landmark such as surgical opening in the body or skull. The method includes: detecting that the first registration has been lost 604 such as patient movement; obtaining a second set of image data 606 depicting the region of interest; identifying a transform based on the first set of image data and the second set of image data 608; and applying the identified transform 610 to data points of the first registration to obtain data points for the updated patient registration. Alternatively, a 3D scanner is used to obtain the first set of image data and second image data when registration is lost (Figure 7).

Title: Improvements in and relating to route discovery in a telecommunication network
Inventor: Yinan Qi
IPC: H04W40/24
Filed: 2018-11-28
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of route discovery in connection with establishing backup backhaul links in an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) network. The method comprises discovering and maintaining backup backhaul links by providing channel measurement and reporting mechanisms. Synchronization signals, CSI-RS/TRS or PTRS are used as reference signals for channel measurement and are configured on a periodic, aperiodic or on-demand basis. Different IAB nodes, under half-duplex constraints, do not transmit and receive at the same time. Reference signals may be multiplexed in the time domain for transmission between IAB nodes or configured in FDM mode. Reference signals may be muted such that a muted time slot is available to listen for reference signals from other nodes. Reference signals may be off-raster synchronization signal blocks (SSB) which are FDMed with SSBs for initial access.
