Abstract:
Provided is a hybrid envelope amplifier having improved efficiency, and more particularly, to an envelope amplifier using a dual switching amplifier and having improved efficiency in which power consumption is reduced by controlling a switching current of a switching region according to a magnitude of an envelope input signal, thereby improving efficiency compared to a conventional hybrid envelope amplifier. The envelope amplifier using a dual switching amplifier and having improved efficiency comprises a linear amplifier and a switching amplifier, wherein the switching amplifier includes two or more switching stages that are selectively operated according to a magnitude of an input signal.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a job scheduling method are provided. For example, the apparatus is a multi-core processing apparatus. The apparatus and method minimize performance degradation of a core caused by sharing resources by dynamically managing a maximum number of jobs assigned to each core of the apparatus. The apparatus includes at least one core including an active cycle counting unit configured to store a number of active cycles and a stall cycle counting unit configured to store a number of stall cycles and a job scheduler configured to assign at least one job to each of the at least one core, based on the number of active cycles and the number of stall cycles. When the ratio of the number of stall cycles to a number of active cycles for a core is too great, the job scheduler assigns fewer jobs to that core to improve performance.

Provided are a method and apparatus for localizing a multichannel sound signal. The method includes: obtaining a multichannel sound signal to which sense of elevation is applied by applying a first filter to an input sound signal; determining at least one frequency range of a dynamic cue according to change of a head-related transfer function (HRTF) indicating information regarding paths from a spatial location of an actual speaker to ears of an audience; and applying a second filter to at least one sound signal, corresponding to the determined at least one frequency range, of at least one channel in the multichannel sound signal to change the at least one sound signal so as to remove or to reduce the dynamic cue when the multichannel sound signal is output.

Abstract:
Provided is a method and apparatus for operating an idle mode in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving a first message requesting entry to an idle mode from a Subscriber Station (SS) through at least one Base Station (BS), selecting in response to reception of the first message whether the MS is to enter an idle mode in which BSs belonging to a paging group broadcast a paging message for the MS or whether the MS is to enter a semi-idle mode in which BSs belonging to a semi-idle paging group, which is a subset of the paging group, broadcast the paging message for the SS, and transmitting Paging announce information instructing the BSs belonging to the semi-idle paging group to broadcast the paging message for the SS, if the semi-idle mode is selected.
