Abstract:
Embodiments of structures and methods for determining operating characteristics of a non-volatile memory transistor comprising a charge-storage-layer and a tunneling-layer are described. In one embodiment, the method comprises: forming on a substrate a structure including a nitrided tunneling-layer and a charge-storage-layer overlying the tunneling-layer comprising a first charge-storage layer adjacent to the tunneling-layer, and a second charge-storage layer overlying the first charge-storage layer, wherein the first charge-storage layer is separated from the second charge-storage layer by a anti-tunneling layer comprising an oxide; depositing a positive charge on the charge-storage-layer and determining a first voltage to establish a first leakage current through the charge-storage-layer and the tunneling-layer; depositing a negative charge on the charge-storage-layer and determining a second voltage to establish a second leakage current through the charge-storage-layer and the tunneling-layer; and determining a differential voltage by calculating a difference between the first and second voltages.

Abstract:
A method and device for determining available spectrums is disclosed in embodiments of the present invention. By applying the technical solution of the embodiments of the present invention, with consideration on the bi-directionality of the interference between wireless communication systems, when introduction of the cognitive system is required, the corresponding frequency will be determined as an available frequency only in the case the incumbent system and the cognitive system can be simultaneously guaranteed to meet the corresponding coexistence criterion among the corresponding frequency and adjacent frequencies thereof, thus ensuring that the determined available frequency band guarantees that the normal operation of the incumbent system is not interfered by the cognitive system while ensuring that the newly-introduced cognitive system can also operate normally without interference of the incumbent system, thereby improving the communication quality of the wireless communication systems.

Abstract:
A method executed in a first radio base station located in a first cell is provided for acquiring scheduling information associated with a second radio base station located in a neighboring cell, where the method comprises listening, via an air interface, to scheduling information transmitted, via a downlink control channel, from the second radio base station; decoding the received scheduling information, and providing the decoded scheduling information to an uplink receiver and/or uplink scheduler associated with the radio base station, such that the uplink receiver and/or uplink scheduler will be able to enhance its performance on the basis of the received scheduling information. An arrangement for executing the suggested method is also provided.

Abstract:
A method in a wireless terminal (110) for sending a measurement report to a serving base station (130) before handover is provided. The wireless terminal (110) and the base station (130) are comprised in a cell in a wireless communications system. The wireless terminal (110) is arranged to use a standard size message or a reduced size message for sending a measurement report before a handover. The wireless terminal (110) obtains (601) information about the cell size and/or the system load. When the cell size exceeds a predetermined value or when the system load exceeds a predetermined value, the wireless terminal (110) sends (605) a measurement report to the base station (130), using the reduced size message.
