Abstract:
In a method of cell reselection for a User Equipment UE, the UE measures a signal strength and/or quality of a target cell. A threshold value is set based at least in part on the rank difference between a serving cell and the target cell. The serving cell and target cell may have the same priority or no network indicated priority. The UE reselects to the target cell when the signal strength exceeds the threshold value.
Abstract:
A method for managing synapse plasticity in a neural network includes converting a first set of synapses from a plastic synapse type to a fixed synapse type. The method may also include converting a second set of synapses from the fixed synapse type to the plastic synapse type.
Abstract:
Differential encoding in a neural network includes predicting an activation value for a neuron in the neural network based on at least one previous activation value for the neuron. The encoding further includes encoding a value based on a difference between the predicted activation value and an actual activation value for the neuron in the neural network.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) reselects back to a higher priority radio access technology (RAT) when network configured parameters do not provide sufficient time to perform the IRAT reselection measurements and evaluation due to the UE spending a very short duration in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. In one instance, the UE detects a triggering condition for incomplete cell reselection evaluation based on a number of past events. The UE computes a modified reselection timer value based on the past events and applies the modified reselection timer value to future events.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) performs hard handover rather than baton handover when a handover command includes a scheduling request configuration and includes no random access configuration. When the UE receives a handover command including a scheduling request configuration, and no random access configuration, the UE determines the random access configuration for the hard handover based on the scheduling request configuration.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a die having a via coupling a first interconnect layer to a trench. The semiconductor device also includes a barrier layer on sidewalls and adjacent surfaces of the trench, and on sidewalls of the via. The semiconductor device has a doped conductive layer on a surface of the first interconnect layer. The doped conductive layer extends between the sidewalls of the via. The semiconductor device further includes a conductive material on the barrier layer in both the via and the trench. The conductive material is on the doped conductive layer disposed on the surface of the first interconnect layer.
Abstract:
A method of operating a spiking neural network having neurons coupled together with a synapse includes monitoring a timing of a presynaptic spike and monitoring a timing of a postsynaptic spike. The method also includes determining a time difference between the postsynaptic spike and the presynaptic spike. The method further includes calculating a stochastic update of a delay for the synapse based on the time difference between the postsynaptic spike and the presynaptic spike.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) sends random access request and scheduling requests for channels, such as a physical random access channel (PRACH) and a random access uplink control channel (E-RUCCH), in parallel rather than serially to improve data transmission latency. In one instance, the UE transmits a first preamble for a random access procedure and a second preamble for a scheduling request in response to receiving a hard-handover command. The UE receives a first acknowledgment response to one of the preambles. The UE determines when to transmit the scheduling request based at least in part on which preamble is acknowledged.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes receiving an uplink grant for one or more pending HARQ processes waiting to perform a retransmission. The method also includes selecting each pending HARQ process that has not received a NACK. The method further includes terminating an oldest selected HARQ process when the uplink grant is insufficient to perform the retransmission for the plurality of pending HARQ processes.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may adjust its uplink transmission power and timing for communications with a target cell while awaiting completion of a baton handover procedure. The amount of adjustments for the uplink transmission power /timing may be based on an amount of time remaining before baton handover failure is declared. The steps size of the adjustments may increase as the time remaining before handover failure becomes smaller.
