A next generation NodeB (gNB) implements a radio access network (RAN) convergence functionality for new radio (NR) and wireless local area network (WLAN) access, the gNB further implementing a split architecture comprising a central unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU) for each of the NR access and WLAN access. The gNB receives a data packet for transmission to a user equipment (UE) implementing the RAN convergence functionality, the data packet comprising one of a control plane (CP) packet or a user plane (UP) packet. The gNB splits the data packet via a convergence layer residing on the NR CU or a convergence layer residing on the WLAN CU and transmits the split data packet over the NR access and the WLAN access.

A method, device, and system for evaluating a vessel of a patient, and in particular the hemodynamic impact of a stenosis within the vessel of a patient. Proximal and distal pressure measurements are made using first and second instrument while the first instrument is moved longitudinally through the vessel from a first position to a second position and the second instrument remains in a fixed longitudinal position within the vessel. A series of pressure ratio values are calculated, and a pressure ratio curve is generated. One or more stepped change in the pressure ratio curve are then identified and/or located using an Automatic Step Detection (ASD) process and/or algorithm. The ASD includes identifying a general position of a starting point of the stepped change by identifying a change in the pressure ratio values within a first window along the pressure ratio curve that is at or above a first threshold change value, and identifying an optimized position of the starting point by identifying a change in the pressure ratio values within a second window along the pressure ratio curve that is at or above a second threshold change value, wherein the second window is smaller than the first window, and the second threshold change value is smaller than the first threshold change value.

A trans-inductor voltage regulator (TLVR) circuit has multiple phases and a regulator block for each phase. Each regulator block is connected to an output capacitor of the TLVR circuit by way of a first winding of a corresponding nonlinear transformer. A second winding of the nonlinear transformers are connected in series with a compensation inductor. The first winding of the corresponding nonlinear transformer has a first inductance when a load current is at a first level, and the first winding of the corresponding nonlinear transformer has a second inductance that is less than the first inductance when the load current is at a second level that is higher than the first level.

Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for registration management in information centric networking (ICN) for next generation (NG) cellular networks. The apparatuses and methods can include at least generating, by a user equipment (UE), a registration request message to register the UE with a 5G system (5GS), where the registration request message includes an access network (AN) parameters, a UE policy parameter, and a UE ICN context information; and transmitting, by the UE, the registration request message to an access management function (AMF) to register the UE.

One or more methods for an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) wireless network. At least one of the methods includes determining, by an IAB node including a mobile termination (MT) block and a co-located distributed unit (DU) block, two slot format indications (SFIs) by configuring the co-located DU block, the two SFIs indications including a first SFI that indicates a resource availability for communicating with a parent node and a second SFI that indicates a soft resource availability for communicating with a child node, in which each of the two SFIs include at least one RRCconfigured slot formats; and transmitting the two SFI indications to a second DU block.
