  • Patent number: 12273952
    Abstract: This application provides a terminal apparatus and method for discontinuous reception (DRX) in an unlicensed band, and may be applied to a scenario in which a terminal device performs communication through a sidelink or a Uu link. A signal receive end monitors a sidelink signal and/or a downlink signal on a grant-free resource configured by a network device, and switches between a non-DRX mode and a DRX mode when a corresponding preset condition is met. Alternatively, a transmit end directly indicates a receive end to use a DRX mode or a non-DRX mode, or indirectly indicates, with assistance of a network device, a receive end to use a DRX mode or a non-DRX mode. In this way, DRX of the receive end can be implemented in a sidelink unlicensed band or a Uu link unlicensed band. This reduces power consumption of the receive end.

  • Patent number: 12272409
    Abstract: Various example embodiments provide a flash memory device, comprising a cell string; a page buffer connected to the cell string and a bit line and configured to sense data stored in a selected memory cell by precharging a sensing node connected to the bit line; and a voltage regulator. The page buffer comprises a latch including first and second inverters coupled between a latch node and an inverted latch node; and a pull-down NMOS transistor for tripping the sensing result of the selected memory cell to the latch node. The voltage regulator adjusts a trip voltage by providing the source voltage to the pull-down NMOS transistor. The flash memory device reduce a trip voltage variation range by using only the pull-down NMOS transistor characteristics. Also, an OFF cell margin and an ON cell margin may be secured by adjusting the level of the trip voltage using the source voltage.
