  • Patent number: 11997720
    Abstract: A radio terminal (2) attempts to receive a second message of a 2-step random access procedure after transmitting a first message of the 2-step random access procedure. In response to successfully receiving the second message of the 2-step random access procedure and determining that the second message explicitly or implicitly indicates a fallback to a 4-step random access procedure, the radio terminal (2) further attempts to receive a control message that contains an uplink grant indicating uplink resources available for transmission of a third message of a 4-step random access procedure. This contributes to, for example, reducing the load on a radio terminal that supports a fallback from the 2-step random access procedure to the 4-step random access procedure.

  • Patent number: 11990841
    Abstract: A multi-mode hybrid control DC-DC converting circuit has a switching power converter and a microcontroller. The switching power converter has a transformer and a switching switch. The switching switch is connected to a primary-side winding of the transformer in series. The microcontroller is connected to the switching power converter and a control terminal of the switching switch. The microcontroller sets multiple thresholds according to an input voltage of the switching power converter, and determines whether a feedback voltage of the switching power converter is higher or lower than each one of the thresholds to perform a variable-frequency mode, a constant-frequency mode, or a pulse-skipping mode. The microcontroller outputs a driving signal to the switching switch and correspondingly adjusts a frequency of the driving signal according to the variable-frequency mode, the constant-frequency mode, or the pulse-skipping mode which is performed.
