  • Publication number: 20240155726
    Abstract: A DU and/or a CU of a distributed base station implement the techniques of this disclosure to support early data transmission from a UE operating in an inactive or idle state. In some embodiments, the DU receives (304) a MAC PDU from the UE when the radio connection between the UE and the DU is not active (302). The DU provides (308) the data packet included in the MAC PDU to the CU while preventing (306) the CU from initiating a procedure for resuming the radio connection. In this manner, the base station avoids an unnecessary transition of the UE to the connected state. The CU may then proceed with releasing (312) radio resources or otherwise determining to reactivate the radio connection.

  • Patent number: 11972935
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of processing a semiconductor substrate in a processing chamber, such as a chemical vapor deposition chamber. The chemical vapor deposition chamber includes a spindle mechanism that cooperates with one or more carrier ring forks to move the semiconductor substrate from one station to another station. The methods include monitoring one or more spindle operation parameters and carrying out one or more maintenance steps on the spindle mechanism based on the results of monitoring the one or more spindle operation parameters. The monitored spindle operation parameters provide an indication of undesirable vibration of the semiconductor substrates in the processing chamber. The vibration of the semiconductor substrates in the processing chamber is undesirable because it promotes generation of unwanted particles that deposit onto a surface of the semiconductor substrate.
