Abstract: Memory cells are arranged as NAND strings to form a block divided into sub-blocks, and each NAND string includes a dummy memory cell connected to a dummy word line. Memory cells are programmed by applying programming pulses to a selected word line in a selected sub-block with program-verify performed between pulses. Unselected NAND strings are inhibited from programming by boosting channels of the unselected NAND strings in the selected sub-block from a positive pre-charge voltage to a boosted voltage. The pre-charging of the channels of unselected NAND strings is performed while lowering voltages at the end of program-verify by applying overdrive voltages to data word lines in a sub-block closer to the source line than the selected sub-block and lowering to a resting voltage a dummy word line between the sub-blocks prior to lowering to a resting voltage the data word lines in the sub-block closer to the source line.

During a write operation, a voltage setting circuit is controlled to apply a first voltage to a selected word line and a second voltage to non-selected word lines. The time period for applying the first voltage to the selected word line starts later than the time period for applying the second voltage to the non-selected word lines and ends earlier than the time period for applying the second voltage to the non-selected word lines.

Abstract: Method of dynamically assigning storage locations starts with the processor receiving a signal from a first client device associated with a first user. Processor stores a current location of the first client device in a historical database and determines whether a home location data associated with the first user matches the current location. In response to determining that the home location data associated with the first user does not match the current location, processor determines whether the first user has been associated with the current location at a greater frequency than the home location data based on the historical database. In response to determining that the first user has been associated with the current location at a greater frequency, processor updates the home location data associated with the first user to the current location. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: The invention relates to improve use of resource units in MU transmissions of an 802.11ax network. An un-associated station may receive data frames over a downlink resource unit, RU, assigned to an AID, e.g. 2045, reserved for stations not associated with the AP, The AP may use a downlink RU sharing an allocation scheme feature of an uplink RU previously used by the un-associated station. The AP may also aggregated data frames addressed to several stations within the same downlink RU, for instance to acknowledge frames previously received from the stations. The aggregated data frames may signal which respective response RUs the addressee stations should use for a next multi-user uplink transmission to respond to the AP. These approaches particularly applies to the exchange of management frames for instance to speed up the association procedure of un-associated stations.
