摘要:
Embodiments are described that provide methods and radio networks that communicate data between a mobile communication device and a core network. The methods include using network coding to encode data, and communicating a subset of the encoded data between the mobile communication device and the core network through a dynamic relay station.

A method for performing a test case with at least one LBIST engine on an integrated circuit with a plurality of storage elements and logic circuits interconnected according to a predetermined scheme. The LBIST engine is partially built up by storage elements and/or logic circuits. At least one scan chain is formed as a series of selected storage elements and the other storage elements are used for the LBIST engine or a part of said LBIST engine in a testing mode. The scan chain is driven by a test pattern and the LBIST test case is testing those parts of the logic circuits corresponding to the storage elements of said scan chain.

The various embodiments described herein relate to a system for performing a serial communication between a central control block and a plurality of satellite components within a semiconductor chip. The system comprises at least one logical ring that serially connects the satellite components to the central control block. The system further comprises a centralized timer. The satellite components aid the system in obeying protocols and performing direct accesses to and/or from registers. The logical ring comprises at least one data channel that is provided for transmitting data packets and address packets. Single-envelope transactions are implemented. Errors of the satellite components associated with the single-envelope transactions are reported to the central control block as additional acknowledgement information.
摘要:
A method, structure and design system for performing logic built-in-self-test (LBIST) cycles on a semiconductor chip with a plurality of logic circuits and a plurality of storage elements connected serially to a number of LBIST stumps (pattern segments) between a pseudo-random-pattern generator (30) and a multiple-input-signature register. The semiconductor chip is subdivided into partitions, such that LBIST cycles may be run separately or in parallel for one or more partitions. The LBIST cycles may also be run separately or in parallel inter-connections between the partitions. The partitions to be tested are controlled by at least one corresponding clock signal, and the inter-connections to be tested are controlled by at least one corresponding clock signal.

A transmission/reception device for mobile radio applications has a microprocessor (DSP), at least one task-specific processor (P1, P2, P3) and a processor interface (2). The task-specific processor (P1, P2, P3) can be configured, by transmitting suitable configuration instructions from the microprocessor via the processor interface (2), such that a basic function performed by the task-specific processor (P1, P2, P3) can be controlled by changing configuration parameters.

A method is provided for switching between two oscillator signals within an alignment element. In accordance with the method, one of the two oscillator signals one is selected as a first master signal in order to provide an output stepping signal at an output of the alignment element. The method comprises introducing a virtual stepping signal when a switch between the two oscillator signals occurs or when a failure in the first master signal is detected. The method further comprises sending the virtual stepping signal to the output of the alignment element in the event of a switch until an alignment with a new master signal is completed.

Techniques for accounting microprocessor resource consumption. The present invention provides an automatic method to timely determine the current microprocessor clock frequency. Information provided by timer facilities of the microprocessor is reused by sampling this information at constant intervals. Such direct derivation of the microprocessor clock frequency is a real-time method that also takes into consideration secondary effects. Examples for such secondary effects include clock frequency variations across chips due to manufacturing variations, any degradation due to performance loss by thermal, or other detrimental effects as well as any voltage changes. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the real-time microprocessor clock frequency determination is implemented as part of the microprocessor itself. No additional service processors or other external hardware facilities are needed in order to control the microprocessor clock frequency determination function.
摘要:
In a method for carrying out a plurality of correlation procedures in a mobile radio system, sample values which have been written to a data memory (DS) are read using a predetermined reading rule. Two correlation procedures are carried out on the basis of the sample values which have been read. This reading rule is in this case independent of the correlation procedure to be carried out.
