Abstract: IR drop predictions are obtained using a maximum convolutional neural network. A circuit structure is partitioned into a grid. For cells of the circuit structure in sub-intervals of a clock period, power consumption of the cell is amortized into a set of grid tiles that include portions of the cell, thus forming a set of power maps. The power maps are applied to a neural network to generate IR drop predictions for the circuit structure.

Abstract: Provided are a method and terminal for data transmission. According to the method, a terminal determines, according to configuration information sent by a base station, to use at least two different TTIs to transmit different PDSCHs and/or PUSCHs on a target carrier.
