  • Patent number: 12126249
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to electronic circuits and, more particularly, to a power supply circuit and techniques for voltage regulation. One example method for voltage regulation is performed by a switched-mode power supply (SMPS). The method generally includes charging a first capacitive element during a first discharge phase of the SMPS having a first voltage rail and a second voltage rail, the first voltage rail being separate from the second voltage rail. Charging the first capacitive element may include directing a first current to flow from the second voltage rail to a reference potential node through the first capacitive element. In some aspects, the method also includes generating an output voltage at the output node during a first charge phase by directing a second current to flow from the first voltage rail to an inductive element of the SMPS through the first capacitive element.

  • Patent number: 12127117
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling from a base station that indicates a multicast or broadcast wake up signal (WUS) format.

  • Patent number: 12127167
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may receive a sidelink control indicator (SCI) from a second UE and selects resources and directions for communication. The SCI may include one or more resources and corresponding directions reserved by the second UE. The first UE may use the resources and directions indicated in the received SCI to select available resources with which to reserve forward direction transmissions, reverse direction transmissions, or both. For example, the first UE may avoid reserving resources and directions corresponding to the resources and directions indicated in the received SCI, or may reserve such resources despite receiving the SCI, such as if the received SCI has a relatively low reference signal received power (RSRP). The first UE may transmit an SCI indicating resources reserved by the first UE and associated directionalities.
