  • Publication number: 20230131537
    Abstract: A method for scheduling a plurality of network entities of a network for transmissions. The method includes determining a handling capacity of a processing device, the handling capacity relating to a maximum number of network entities which the processing device can handle during a given period of time and determining a network entity schedule for transmission in uplink and downlink based on the handling capacity of the processing device by scheduling a first set of network entities of the plurality of network entities to transmit in uplink and downlink in a transmission block according to a first transmission pattern. A second set of network entities is scheduled to transmit in the transmission block in uplink and downlink according to a second transmission pattern, the first transmission pattern differs from the second transmission pattern and the first and second transmission patterns conform to the handling capacity of the processing device.

  • Publication number: 20230097319
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for controlling execution in a parallel processing device of a plurality of processing jobs for communication reception in a communication network. The method includes grouping the plurality of processing jobs into one or more groups, wherein the number of groups is less than the number of processing jobs of the plurality of processing jobs. The method also includes launching, for each group, processing of the processing jobs of the group using a single execution call, wherein the processing includes parallel processing of at least some of the processing jobs of the group. For example, the processing jobs may be layer one (L1) baseband (BB) processing jobs. In some embodiments, the groups are non-overlapping. In some embodiments, at least one of the one or more groups includes two or more processing jobs. Corresponding apparatus, communication node and a computer storage medium are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11153843
    Abstract: There is provided mechanisms for locating wireless devices. A method is performed by a network operator node of cells. The method comprises obtaining an indication to locate wireless devices in a geographical area from a surveillance center node (s102). The method comprises initiating a change of logical group area identity of those of its cells that at least partly overlap with the geographical area (s104), thereby initiating location reporting from those wireless devices located in the geographical area that are in idle mode. The method comprises, in response thereto, receiving location indicating information from the wireless devices in the geographical area (s106).

  • Patent number: 9971716
    Abstract: A computing device includes at least one master unit; at least one slave unit; an interconnect structure configured to route transactions from the at least one master unit to the at least one slave unit; and a transaction logger device configured to intercept and save a record of outstanding transactions sent by the at least one master unit to the interconnect structure. The transaction logger device is further configured to preserve the record of outstanding transactions when at least a part of the computing device is restarted.

  • Patent number: 8799614
    Abstract: A method of processing data for storage in a storage medium coupled to a processing unit adapted to access data stored in the storage medium as one or more pages of data, each page having a predetermined page size and a corresponding virtual memory address, the method comprising: obtaining a compressed data item including compressed data corresponding to a first memory page of uncompressed data; dividing the compressed data item into an initial part and a supplementary part, the initial part having an initial part size; determining respective second memory locations for the supplementary parts so as to reduce the number of sectors occupied by the supplementary parts; allocating the initial part together with an index data item at a first memory location associated with the first memory page, the index data item being indicative of a second memory location; allocating the supplementary part at the second memory location.

  • Patent number: 7971046
    Abstract: A method of initializing a booting procedure of a mobile platform having a certain NAND flash memory. The method comprises sending (304) an initial read command sequence to the NAND flash memory and detecting (305) if the NAND flash memory is responsive to the read command sequence. If the NAND flash memory is responsive to the read command sequence the mobile platform will be configured (306) to interface with the NAND flash memory. If the NAND flash memory is not responsive to the initial read command sequence, the method further comprises sending (307) another read command sequence to the NAND flash memory. The another read command sequence is associated with the initially sent read command sequence. Next, it is detected (308) if the NAND flash memory is responsive to the another read command sequence, and if so the mobile platform will be configured (309) to interface with the NAND flash memory.
