Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide for a thin control channel structure that can be utilized for a variety of purposes including, for example, enabling the multiplexing of two or more data transmission formats. In another example, the thin control channel can be utilized to carry control information that relates to interference experienced by a user. By utilizing this control information on a thin control channel, the network can take suitable action to mitigate the interference. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide for the pairing of an inter-band carrier with a time division duplex (TDD) carrier. If the paired band is a frequency division duplex (FDD) band, then base stations and mobile devices may transmit and receive additional thin control channels on FDD carriers to enable full duplex operations. If the paired band is a TDD band, then a conjugate or inverse carrier may be used such that full duplex, or a close approximation thereto, is achieved. With the introduction of a paired channel and fast control channels, rapid uplink/downlink switching may be achieved for TDD carriers efficiently and effectively. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage media for managing power consumption of a mobile device are disclosed. The systems, method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium may cause the base station to identify an energy metric associated with a mobile device, and to configure the transmission between the base station and the mobile device based at least in part on the energy metric. The configuration of the transmission may reduce the power consumption of the mobile device for processing the transmission.

Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for minimizing latency between receipt of a NACK at a base station from a user equipment (UE) and retransmission of data to the UE. Time constraints for processing the ACK/NACK are relaxed so the base station can decode the ACK/NACK to determine whether a NACK has been received and then prepare for transmission of the appropriate data to the UE in the immediately following transmission time interval (TTI). These constraints are relaxed by separating download data indicator (DDI) from the PDCCH control data and delaying transmission of the DDI until decoding of the ACK/NACK.
Abstract:
Managing dataflow execution of loop instructions by out-of-order processors (OOPs), and related circuits, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed. In one aspect, a reservation station circuit is provided. The reservation station circuit includes multiple reservation station segments, each storing a loop instruction of a loop of a computer program. Each reservation station segment also stores an instruction execution credit indicating whether the corresponding loop instruction may be provided for dataflow execution. The reservation station circuit further includes a dataflow monitor that distributes an initial instruction execution credit to each reservation station segment. As each loop iteration is executed, each reservation station segment determines whether the instruction execution credit indicates that the loop instruction for the reservation station segment may be provided for dataflow execution. If so, the reservation station segment provides the loop instruction for dataflow execution, and adjusts the instruction execution credit for the reservation station segment.
Abstract:
Enforcing loop-carried dependency (LCD) during dataflow execution of loop instructions by out-of-order processors (OOPs), and related circuits, methods, and computer-readable media, is disclosed. In one aspect, a reservation station circuit is provided, comprising one or more reservation station segments configured to store a consumer loop instruction. Each reservation station segment also includes an operand buffer for each operand of the consumer loop instruction, the operand buffer indicating a producer loop instruction and an LCD distance between the producer loop instruction and the consumer loop instruction. Each reservation station segment receives an execution result of the producer loop instruction, and a loop iteration indicator that indicates a current loop iteration for the producer loop instruction. The reservation station segment generates an operand buffer index based on the loop iteration indicator of the producer loop instruction and the LCD offset indicator of the operand buffer corresponding to the execution result.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide for a thin control channel structure that can be utilized to enable multiplexing of two or more data transmission formats. For example, a thin control channel may carry information that enables ongoing transmissions utilizing a first, relatively long transmission time interval (TTI) to be punctured, and during the punctured portion of the long TTI, a transmission utilizing a second, relatively short TTI may be inserted. This puncturing is enabled by virtue of a thin channel structure wherein a control channel can carry scheduling information, grants, etc., informing receiving devices of the puncturing that is occurring or will occur. Furthermore, the thin control channel can be utilized to carry other control information, not being limited to puncturing information. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Providing lower-overhead management of dataflow execution of loop instructions by out-of-order processors (OOPs), and related circuits, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed. In one aspect, a reservation station circuit including multiple reservation station segments, each storing a loop instruction of a computer program loop is provided. Each reservation station segment also stores an instruction execution credit indicator indicative of whether the corresponding loop instruction may be provided for dataflow execution. The reservation station circuit further includes a dataflow monitor providing an entry for each loop instruction, each entry comprising a consumer count indicator and a reservation station (RS) tag count indicator. The dataflow monitor is configured to determine whether all consumer instructions of a loop instruction have executed based on the consumer count indicator and the RS tag count indicator for the loop instruction. If so, the dataflow monitor issues an instruction execution credit to the loop instruction.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. A first device, such as a user equipment (UE) may be configured with a peak data rate that corresponds to the radio frequency (RF) capacity of a modem and a sustained data rate that corresponds to the baseband capacity. The first device may receive a set of data blocks during a transmission burst from a second device. The quantity of data blocks in the burst may be based on the peak data rate. The first device may store time domain samples or frequency tones for the data and then power down the RF components for an interval based on how long it will take to process the data. The first device may then process the data at the sustained data rate. After the rest interval, the first device may power up the RF components and receive another burst of data.
