Abstract: Techniques for transmitting reference signals (RSs) having respective signal patterns in the coding chain to improve performance of multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) communication systems are presented. For downlink transmissions, an RS management component (RSMC) of a network node can determine a first resource element (RE) pattern for RSs of a first cell and a second RE pattern for RSs of a second cell in the time, frequency, or code domain. RSMC can utilize an adaptive interleaver in the coding chain to improve performance of MIMO systems. RSMC can facilitate configuring user equipment (UE) about the interleaver at the RE domain or as part of virtual resource block (VRB)-to-physical resource block (PRB) domain. RSMC can thereby reduce interference on RSs from other co-channel RSs, thereby improving channel estimation performance for channel-state-information estimation and data detection by the UE, and achieving significant gains in link and system throughputs.

Abstract: A radio access network system is described that determines a signal metric associated with a user equipment or device. The user equipment device can implement an altered transmission policy. The altered transmission policy can alter a strength of transmissions by increasing power consumption per transmission, increasing a length of timer per transmission, and altering other parameters of transmissions. The altered transmission policy can also alter an error correction policy. The error correction policy can indicate that error correction transmissions are to be decreased. The altered transmission policy can be implemented until the signal metric changes to a more desirable level.

Abstract: A memory scrubbing system includes a persistent memory device coupled to an operating system (OS) and a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). During a boot process and prior to loading the OS, the BIOS retrieves a known memory location list that identifies known memory locations of uncorrectable errors in the persistent memory device and performs a partial memory scrubbing operation on the known memory locations. The BIOS adds any known memory locations that maintain an uncorrectable error to a memory scrub error list. The BIOS then initiates a full memory scrubbing operation on the persistent memory device, cause the OS to load and enter a runtime environment while the full memory scrubbing operation is being performed, and provides the memory scrub error list to the OS.

Abstract: In a network device, a hash calculator generates a lookup hash value from data fields associated with a packet received by the network device. A compressed lookup key generator generates a compressed lookup key for the packet using the lookup hash value. A content addressable memory (CAM) stores compressed patterns corresponding to compressed lookup keys, uses the compressed lookup key received from the compressed lookup key generator to determine if the received compressed lookup key matches any stored compressed patterns, and outputs an index corresponding to a stored compressed pattern that matches the compressed lookup key. A memory stores uncompressed patterns corresponding to the compressed patterns stored in the CAM, and retrieves an uncompressed pattern using the index output by the CAM. A comparator generate a signal that indicates whether the uncompressed pattern retrieved from the memory matches the data fields associated with the packet.
