Abstract: An image sensor may include an array of pixels and associated delay calibration circuitry for determining an amount of delay for row control signals. The delay calibration circuitry can include circuitry for generating a calibration row control signal, circuitry for propagating the calibration row control signal down a row of dummy pixels, and one or more sampling circuits coupled to one or more tap points in the row of dummy pixels for monitoring when the calibration row control signal arrives at the one or more tap points. The array of pixels can output signals during normal operation. The image sensor may include column readout circuitry for reading out the signals from the array of pixels. The column readout circuitry can be controlled using sampling signals that are progressively delayed based on count values output from the one or more sampling circuits.

Abstract: A method, mobile device (101) and radio access network RAN (102) are disclosed for suspending and re-establishing a radio resource control (RRC) connection. In some examples, the mobile device (101) indicates a preference to have the RRC connection either suspended or released. In other examples, RAN (102) sends to the mobile device (101) a connection suspend command message instructing the mobile device to suspend a RRC connection with the RAN (102). The mobile device (101), in response to the connection suspend command message, suspends the RRC connection. When the RRC connection is suspended the mobile device (101) cannot transmit or receive user plane data to the RAN (102) and performs functions the same as or similar to idle mode functions. On suspension, RRC connection information is stored and can be used to re-establish the suspended RRC connection.
