This application discloses techniques for generating and querying projective hash maps. More specifically, projective hash maps can be used for spatial hashing of data related to N-dimensional points. Each point is projected onto a projection surface to convert the three-dimensional (3D) coordinates for the point to two-dimensional (2D) coordinates associated with the projection surface. Hash values based on the 2D coordinates are then used as an index to store data in the projective hash map. Utilizing the 2D coordinates rather than the 3D coordinates allows for more efficient searches to be performed to locate points in the 3D space. In particular, projective hash maps can be utilized by graphics applications for generating images, and the improved efficiency can, for example, enable a game streaming application on a server to render images transmitted to a user device via a network at faster frame rates.

A wireless telecommunication system comprises a base station and a terminal device (UE). The UE is configured to determine its mobility status and an associated reliability, e.g. an indication of the extent to which the UE is moving and the confidence in this determination.

The UE is configured to convey an indication of the mobility status and the reliability to the base station. The base station may then configure the UE for operation within the wireless telecommunications system in a manner that takes account of both the mobility status and the reliability for the mobility status.
