  • Patent number: 12743142
    Abstract: Power control in a computing device may include timing a periodic time interval associated with intervals of memory accesses by a first processor alternating with intervals of inactivity of the first processor, and powering down memory controller circuitry during the intervals of first processor inactivity while maintaining power supplied to a system-level cache. Maintaining the power supplied to the system-level cache may allow a second processor to continue accessing the system-level cache even while the memory controller circuitry is powered down. Power may be restored to the memory controller circuitry during the intervals of memory access by the first processor.

  • Patent number: 12745161
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may pause, while operating in an inactive mode, the performance of one or more small data transmissions (SDTs) in an initial bandwidth part (BWP) in order to monitor for a first set of reference signals in a default BWP. The UE may pause the performance of the one or more SDTs in the first BWP periodically, semi-statically, in accordance with a network trigger, in accordance with the capabilities of the UE, or a combination thereof. The UE may monitor the second BWP for the first set of reference signals, receive the first set of reference signals in accordance with the monitoring, and measure the first set of reference signals. In accordance with the measuring the first set of reference signals, the UE may resume the performance of the one or more SDTs in the first BWP.

  • Patent number: 12745255
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) that activates periodic channel state information (CSI) reporting via uplink shared channel transmissions (e.g., via physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions). The UE may then identify a trigger condition that triggers a transmission of both a first instance of a CSI report and a second instance of the CSI report within a period of the periodic CSI reporting. Based on the satisfaction of the trigger condition, the UE may transmit the first instance of the CSI report via a first uplink shared channel transmission and the second instance of the CSI report via a second uplink shared channel transmission, where both uplink channel transmissions are within the period of the periodic CSI reporting.

  • Patent number: 12745279
    Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) usually have associated categories based on characteristics of the UAVs and characteristics of flights for the UAVs. These categories are provided to a UAV service supplier (USS) when the UAV registers with the USS and when the UAV submits flight plans to the USS for approval. Such categories are not provided to a wireless communication network that the UAV will use during flight. However, the wireless communication network cannot effectively prioritize service to some UAVs over other UAVs without these categories. Techniques and apparatuses described herein provide categories associated with UAVs to a mobile network that will provide service to the UAVs during flight. The categories may allow the mobile network to prioritize traffic to render operable UAVs that require low-latency communications, such as UAVs using autonomous navigation software, as well as reduce risk to UAVs engaged in high-risk or high-priority missions.

  • Patent number: 12743388
    Abstract: A system and method for managing a bus system when radio-frequency (RF) interference include a bus diagnostics engine determining when a bus system has been reset a predetermined number of times because RF interference has been detected within the bus system. A dynamic bus manager (DBM) is activated when the bus system has been reset a predetermined number of times because RF interference has been detected within the bus system. The DBM may decrease a speed of the bus system for a first instance once activated. After decreasing the speed of the bus system for the first instance, a bus diagnostics engine (BDE) may determine when the bus system has been reset because RF interference has been detected again. The DBM may decrease the speed of the bus system for a second instance in response to the BDE detecting RF interference after the first instance.
