  • Patent number: 10624033
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may be enabled for voice over long term evolution (VoLTE). The UE may include an audio layer to encode and decode voice information and a packet layer to transmit voice packets. The packet layer may store parameters related to a discontinuous reception (DRX) in a shared memory. The audio layer may obtain the DRX parameters and encode voice information based on the parameters. For example, the audio layer coding may be synchronized with the wake period of the DRX cycle. The audio layer may encode voice information during a wake up period of the packet layer DRX cycle, and the packet layer may transmit the voice packets while awake. The audio layer may perform back to back encodings at the beginning of the DRX cycle. The packet layer may extend the wake period to transmit the voice packets.

  • Publication number: 20200042500
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a system comprising a storage unit, a control module, a compression module, and a communication module. During operation, the storage unit can store a piece of data. The control module determines whether data stored in the storage unit has triggered a storage operation in a distributed storage system. The compression module then compresses the piece of data by encoding the piece of data using fewer bits than the bits of the piece of data. Subsequently, the communication module sends the compressed piece of data to a plurality of storage nodes in the distributed storage system for persistent storage.
