Publication number: 20240014986Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described for resource block-level index modulation. In aspects, a wireless transmitter modulates a first portion of data for a wireless receiver to provide modulation symbols that correspond to the first portion of the data. The wireless transmitter also selects, based on a value of a second portion of the data, respective index locations for one or more resource blocks by which to transmit the modulation symbols. The wireless transmitter then transmits the modulation symbols to the wireless receiver using the one or more resource blocks having the respective index locations to convey the first portion of the data and the second portion of the data to the wireless receiver. By so doing, the wireless transmitter conveys the second portion of the data without using additional time-frequency resources of a communication channel, which can be useful when concurrently transmitting small amounts of data to many wireless receivers.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2021Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Erik Richard Stauffer, Jibing Wang

Publication number: 20240012771Abstract: The described techniques and apparatuses enable memory-request priority up-leveling. A memory request is received over a virtual channel, VC, and is then added to a memory-request buffer with an original priority-level for the memory request and an indication that the memory request is associated with a virtual channel identification, VCID, of the VC. Related memory requests within the memory-request buffer are also indicated as being associated with the VCID. Responsive to determining that an up-level indication for the VCID is asserted over a side channel, the original priority-levels of the memory request, and other memory-requests in the memory-request buffer having an indication of the VCID, are increased to respective up-leveled priority levels. Responsive to determining that the up-level indication is no longer asserted, the up-leveled priority levels are returned to respective original priority-levels.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2020Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Nagaraj Ashok Putti, Gopi Neela, Shubham Mahajan, Praxal Sunilkumar Shah

Publication number: 20240014888Abstract: This document describes techniques for flexible frequency band pairing for satellite communications. In aspects, a non-terrestrial communication system uses multiple frequency bands for a wireless link between a user equipment, UE, and a satellite of the non-terrestrial communication system. The non-terrestrial communication system determines to utilize two different frequency bands the wireless link between the satellite and the UE, the two different frequency bands being defined by a governing entity. In response, the non-terrestrial based communication system selects a first defined frequency band for downlink communications from the satellite to the UE and a second defined frequency band for uplink communications from the UE to the satellite. The non-terrestrial communication system then directs the satellite and the UE to communicate via the wireless link by using the first defined frequency band for the downlink communications and the second defined frequency band for the uplink communications.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2021Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Jibing Wang, Aamir Akram, Erik Richard Stauffer, Sharath Ananth

Publication number: 20240012683Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, devices, systems, and procedures in a computing system for capturing a configuration state of an operating system executing on a central processing unit (CPU), and offloading resource-related tasks, based on the configuration state, to a resource management unit such as a system-on-chip (SoC). The resource management unit identifies a status of each resource based on the captured configuration state of the operating system. The resource management unit then processes tasks associated with the status of the resources, such as modifying a clock rate of a clocked component in the computing system. This can alleviate the CPU from processing those tasks thereby improving overall computing system performance and dynamics.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Alex Levin, Todd Alan Broch, Derek Basehore

Publication number: 20240013734Abstract: This application is directed to a method for correct temperature measurement. An electronic device includes a temperature sensor that measures an ambient temperature of an environment and a display that is driven by a display driver. The electronic device determines a brightness setting of the display, estimates a display driver current based on the brightness setting, estimates a driver efficiency of the display driver based on the display driver current, and combines a predetermined display driver voltage, the display driver current, and the driver efficiency to determine a power consumption of the display driver. An ambient temperature correction is determined in accordance with the determined power consumption of the display driver, and the measured ambient temperature is thereby corrected using the ambient temperature correction. In some implementations, a power consumption of a distinct heat-generating electronic component is also monitored for adjusting the ambient temperature correction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Jeffrey Kevin Tu, Kristen Rebecca Pownell, Philip Hobson Boothby, Arun Prakash Raghupathy, Emil Rahim, Chintan Trehan
