Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a clock distribution network for distributing clocking signals within a synchronous sequential logic circuit. The clock distribution network distributes the one or more clock signals by inductively and/or capacitively coupling a clocking signal from a primary distribution node to various secondary distribution nodes within the synchronous sequential logic circuit. The various secondary distribution nodes resonate at respective resonant frequencies to generate other clocking signals for use within the synchronous sequential logic circuit in response to receiving the clocking signal.

Abstract: Embodiments provide an area, cost, and power efficient multi-service transceiver architecture. The multi-service transceiver architecture simplifies receiver/transmitter front ends needed for a multi-service architecture, by replacing significant portions of multiple receiver and/or transmitter front ends with a single ADC and/or DAC, respectively. In embodiments, a plurality of received service contents are combined into one composite analog/RF signal and applied to an ADC. The ADC converts the composite signal into a composite multi-service digital signal. Digital techniques are then used to separate the plurality of service contents into a plurality of respective digital streams that each can be independently demodulated. Similarly, in the transmit direction, a plurality of digital streams, including a plurality of service contents, are combined into one composite digital signal.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and an apparatus implementing the method. In the method is determined in a mobile node whether the mobile node supports mobile node specific cyclic prefixes. The mobile node transmits to a base station node an indication whether the mobile node supports mobile node specific cyclic prefixes.

The mobile node receives an indication of an uplink direction cyclic prefix length from the base station node. The mobile node forms a cyclic prefix of the uplink direction cyclic prefix length selected from a useful symbol, adds the cyclic prefix in front of the useful symbol and transmits a signal comprising the cyclic prefix and the useful symbol to the base station.

Abstract: A clock driver includes a clock interconnect running to multiple lanes of an integrated circuit chip, the interconnect including a positive clock line and a negative clock line. A clock generator generates a clock signal and a source inductor, through which the clock generator draws DC power, helps drive the clock signal down the interconnect. The source inductor may be tunable. A distributed (or tunable) inductor is connected to and positioned along the positive and negative clock lines between the source inductor and an end of the interconnect. Multiple distributed inductors may be positioned and optionally tuned such as to create a resonant response in the clock signal with substantially similar quality and amplitude as delivered to the multiple lanes. Any of the distributed and source inductors may be switchable to change inductance of the distributed inductors and thus change the clock frequency in the lanes for different communication standards.

Abstract: A network/base station broadcasts an indication to direct a user equipment how to prioritize information for inclusion in an uplink message to be sent on a random access channel RACH. By example one value of the indication directs a user equipment UE to prioritize inter-frequency over intra-frequency neighbor cell measurements for inclusion in the uplink message; and another value (or absence) of the indication directs a UE to prioritize intra-frequency over inter-frequency neighbor cell measurements for inclusion in the uplink message. A UE receiving the broadcast indication constructs the uplink message which includes information that is prioritized in accordance with the indication so as not to exceed a maximum message size.
