Publication number: 20200328839Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. More specifically, the methods, systems, and devices support extending capability signaling to support higher modulation order baseband capability, such as higher order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), for example, 1024QAM. By way of example, a user equipment (UE) may transmit UE capability information to a base station (e.g., eNodeB (eNB), next-generation NodeB ((gNB)) in a connection establishment procedure. The UE capability information may include a UE category identifier and a baseband capability parameter. The baseband capability parameter may indicate a scaling factor for a first modulation order of a plurality of available modulation orders. The UE may communicate with the base station over multiple layers using corresponding modulation orders for the multiple layers.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2020Publication date: October 15, 2020Inventors: Wenshu Zhang, Amir Farajidana, Timothy Paul Pals, Alberto Rico Alvarino, Honey Kakkar, Parastoo Kheirkhah, Nitin Pant, Umesh Phuyal, Venkata Naga Aishwarya Reddy Kasa, Shashank Maiya

Publication number: 20200329369Abstract: Aspects are provided which allow an apparatus to efficiently indicate downgraded band combinations associated with carrier aggregation (CA) to a base station, in which one or more UE capabilities such as the DL MIMO of certain supported band combinations may be downgraded in exchange for other UE capabilities such as FD-MIMO and 256/1024QAM. The apparatus, which may be a UE, receives a request from a base station for information associated with downgraded band combinations and for information corresponding to at least one UE capability associated with each of the downgraded band combinations. After receiving the request, the UE sends, to the base station, information indicating the downgraded band combinations and the at least one UE capability. The UE may thus report downgraded band combinations for a subset of supported band combinations as requested by the base station, thereby minimizing capability reporting of the UE.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2020Publication date: October 15, 2020Inventors: Timothy Paul PALS, Alberto RICO ALVARINO, Amir FARAJIDANA, Honey KAKKAR, Parastoo KHEIRKHAH, Nitin PANT, Umesh PHUYAL, Wenshu ZHANG

Patent number: 9383759Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a voltage monitoring circuit, and a controller. The voltage monitoring circuit includes low voltage detect (LVD) and low voltage warning (LVW) circuits that generate LVD and LVW reference voltage signals. The controller generates and stores a voltage margin word (a difference between first and second DAC words that correspond to the LVD and LVW reference voltage signals, respectively). The controller compares the voltage margin word with predetermined maximum and minimum voltage margin words. If the voltage margin word does not lie between the predetermined maximum and minimum voltage margin words, the controller generates a voltage trimming signal that scales the LVW reference voltage signal. After scaling, if the voltage margin word lies between the predetermined maximum and minimum voltage margin words, the controller generates a calibration pass signal, otherwise the controller generates a calibration fail signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2014Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: FREESCALE SEMICONDUCTOR, INC.Inventors: Kumar Abhishek, Aniruddha Gupta, Sunny Gupta, Nitin Pant

Patent number: 9329210Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes a reference voltage generator, a voltage regulator, a reset controller, and a voltage monitoring circuit. The reference voltage generator generates first and second reference voltages, and the voltage regulator generates a supply voltage. The reset controller stabilizes the first and second reference voltages in a first predetermined time period, and generates a power down signal after the first predetermined time period. The voltage monitoring circuit compares a level of the supply voltage with a level of the second reference voltage after the first predetermined time period and generates a (low) voltage monitor signal. The reset controller also generates a (high) reset signal when the supply voltage is greater than the second reference voltage.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2014Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: FREESCALE SEMIOCNDUCTOR, INC.Inventors: Sunny Gupta, Nitin Pant, Shubhra Singh
