    Abstract: Extending cellular telecommunication service from a first UE to another device. The first UE may register for cellular telecommunication service with a cellular network using a first cellular service account, using a cellular communication link via a cellular radio. A second device may be discovered and a communication link may be established between the first UE and the second device. The second device may be registered to use cellular telecommunication capability provided by the first UE. Communications between the second device and the cellular network may be conveyed via the communication link between the first UE and the second device and the cellular communication link. Conveying communications between the second device and the cellular network may provide use of the first cellular service account for cellular telecommunication service to the second device.

    Abstract: Disclosed are apparatuses and methods for measuring and/or reporting UE-to-UE crosslink interference (CLI). Techniques of realizing efficient L3 CLI RSSI and SRS-RSRP reporting and triggering mechanisms are disclosed. The disclosed apparatuses and methods can configure a measurement object to include a cross-link sounding reference signal (SRS) resource or a cross-link received signal strength indicator (RSSI) resource. A level of cross-link interference (CLI) between a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE based is determined, at least in part, on the configured measurement object. Then, in response to occurrence of a predetermined event, a report is generated that includes the level of CLI. The measurement object is configured to include a resource configuration parameters for a cross-link interference received signal strength indicator (CLI-RSSI) measurement and sounding reference signal (SRS) resource configurations for a cross-link SRS reference signal received power (SRS-RSRP) measurement. One of the first or second UEs can transmit the report.

    Abstract: A serial data receiver circuit included in a computer system may include a front-end circuit, a sample circuit that includes multiple analog-to-digital converter circuits, and a recovery circuit. The sample circuit may sample a serial data stream at different times that correspond to even-numbered and odd-numbered symbols in the serial data stream. The recovery circuit may use different coefficients to process the respective samples of the even-numbered and odd-numbered symbols in order to recover the data symbols encoded in the serial data stream.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, a power converter circuit included in a computer system magnetizes and de-magnetizes an inductor coupled to a switch node using high-side and low-side switches to alternatively couple a switch node to an input power supply node and a ground supply node. In response to detecting a drop in the voltage level of the input power supply node, the power converter circuit may adjust an on-resistance of the high-side switch to maintain performance at the lower voltage level of the input power supply node.
