    Abstract: The devices, systems, methods, and techniques described herein provide for efficient operation of a user equipment (UE) configured to support mobility mechanisms while using connected mode discontinuous reception (CDRX). In some aspects, a UE configured to use CDRX may measure objects according to a No DRX minimum measurement period (e.g., a minimum measurement period configured when no DRX is used). Because the No DRX minimum measurement period may be shorter than a DRX minimum measurement period, the UE may be able to measure objects more frequently and improve mobility performance. Further, although the UE may perform measurements according to the No DRX minimum measurement period, the UE may still report the measurements according to a DRX minimum measurement period. Thus, the UE may report measurements less frequently, and the UE may sleep during more off-durations of a CDRX cycle, resulting in reduced power consumption.

    Abstract: A resistive memory device includes a memory cell array, control logic, a voltage generator, and a read-out circuit. The memory cell array includes memory cells connected to bit lines. Each memory cell includes a variable resistance element to store data. The control logic receives a read command and generates a voltage control signal for generating a plurality of read voltages based on the read command. The voltage generator sequentially applies the read voltages to the bit lines based on the voltage control signal. The read-out circuit is connected to the bit lines. The control logic determines values of data stored in the memory cells by controlling the read-out circuit to sequentially compare values of currents sequentially output from the memory cells in response to the plurality of read voltages with a reference current.

    Abstract: A vertical memory device includes gate electrodes on a substrate. The gate electrodes are spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction. A channel penetrates the gate electrodes and extends in the vertical direction. A tunnel insulation pattern is formed on an outer sidewall of the channel. A charge trapping pattern structure is formed on an outer sidewall of the tunnel insulation pattern adjacent the gate electrodes in a horizontal direction. The charge trapping pattern structure includes upper and lower charge trapping patterns. A blocking pattern is formed between the charge trapping pattern structure and each of the adjacent gate electrodes. An upper surface of the upper charge trapping pattern is higher than an upper surface of the adjacent gate electrode. A lower surface of the lower charge trapping pattern is lower than a lower surface of an adjacent gate electrode.
