Abstract: Disclosed is a method of wireless communication for use by a device and the associated device. The method includes receiving a data transfer schedule and determining that the data transfer schedule includes an isochronous traffic stream for the device. After the determining, the method includes extracting an allocation period of the isochronous traffic stream from the data transfer schedule, determining a wakeup schedule for the device having a sleep interval based on the allocation period, and entering a power save mode using the wakeup schedule. The method may further include determining that the data transfer schedule does not include an isochronous traffic stream for the device. After this determining, the method may include requesting a wakeup schedule of a source device, and determining the wakeup schedule for the device having the sleep interval based on the wakeup schedule for the source device entering a power save mode using the wakeup schedule for the device.

Abstract: A differential bit cell includes two memory elements that are configured to have different states. Each of the two memory elements is connected to a respective switching element. Each of these switching elements may have process variances, which may result in a degradation of read and/or write margins. To mitigate the effect of such variances, another switching element is coupled to the two memory elements and their respective switching elements in a manner that couples the aforementioned switching elements in a parallel fashion. In this way, the mismatch effects between the switching elements can be negated during read operations. During programming operations, such a configuration allows for the programming of both memory elements to different states with a single current pulse and also reduces the effective resistance of the programming path.

After the training, refreshing and/or updating, the silent channels may transition to active and/or may remain silent.
