Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to receive a first uplink grant having a first priority, generate, by a medium access control (MAC) layer, a first MAC protocol data unit (PDU) comprising first data, deliver the first MAC PDU to a physical (PHY) layer, transmit, via a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the first data using resources identified in the first uplink grant, receive a second uplink grant having a second priority, wherein a corresponding PUSCH duration of the first and second uplink grants overlap and wherein the second priority is higher than the first priority, generate a second MAC protocol data unit (PDU) comprising second data corresponding to the second uplink grant, deliver the second MAC PDU to the PHY layer of the UE, cancel the transmission of the first data and transmit the second data using resources identified in the second uplink grant via the PUSCH.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses disclosed herein can mitigate transmitting latency to improve the quality of a voice or the video call. These systems, methods, and apparatuses reset a transmitting latency timer upon retrieving a packet from a transmitting buffer. Thereafter, these systems, methods, and apparatuses start the count of the transmitting latency timer as the packet is being processed. And these systems, methods, and apparatuses compare the transmitting latency timer e with a transmitting latency threshold as these systems, methods, and apparatuses are processing a packet for transmission. These systems, methods, and apparatuses can drop the packet and/or can select another packet for processing in response to the transmitting latency timer exceeding the transmitting latency threshold to mitigate the transmitting latency.

Abstract: Portable electronic devices having I/O assemblies that can include optical and audio components are described. An exemplary I/O assembly can include a first camera module and a second camera module that can be carried within a camera module housing. A flex connector can carry a strobe that can be positioned between the first camera module and the second camera module. A trim can enclose the first camera, the second camera and the strobe and optically isolates the optical components. An exemplary portable electronic device can include a side wall retainer that defines its perimeter, a front cover glass and a rear cover glass that cooperate to form an enclosure. The I/O assembly can be secured to the enclosure both from inside and outside of the rear cover glass. I/O assembly can also include an audio transducer that can record sound when the camera module are recording videos.

Abstract: Video compression and decompression techniques are disclosed that provide improved bandwidth control for video compression and decompression systems. In particular, video coding and decoding techniques quantize input video in multiple dimensions. According to these techniques, pixel residuals may be generated from a comparison of an array of input data to an array of prediction data. The pixel residuals may be quantized in a first dimension. After the quantization, the quantized pixel residuals may be transformed to an array of transform coefficients. The transform coefficients may be quantized in a second dimension and entropy coded. Decoding techniques invert these processes. In still other embodiments, multiple quantizers may be provided upstream of the transform stage, either in parallel or in cascade, which provide greater flexibility to video coders to quantize data in different dimensions in an effort to balance the competing interest in compression efficiency and quality of reconstructed video.

Abstract: A spatial light system that may, for example, be used to project image content onto surfaces of a room. The system may include two or more projection units for emitting light onto surfaces within a room. The system may include a controller and two or more projection units, each module including an LED array, an array of light pipes, and a condenser lens. Two or more projection units may be connected to a flexible strip that provides power and data (e.g., serial data) to the projection units, a composable light emitter unit, or a bulb-form projection system. Two or more flex strips or composable light emitter units may be connected together to provide a serially-connected, flexible modular architecture for spatial light systems that allow the projection units to be conformed to a variety of configurations and shapes.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a memory system may include at least two types of DRAM, which differ in at least one characteristic. For example, one DRAM type may be a high density DRAM, while another DRAM type may have lower density but may also have lower latency and higher bandwidth than the first DRAM type. DRAM of the first type may be on one or more first integrated circuits and DRAM of the second type may be on one or more second integrated circuits. In an embodiment, the first and second integrated circuits may be coupled together in a stack. The second integrated circuit may include a physical layer circuit to couple to other circuitry (e.g., an integrated circuit having a memory controller, such as a system on a chip (SOC)), and the physical layer circuit may be shared by the DRAM in the first integrated circuits.
