Patent number: 11683028Abstract: Embodiments described herein include radio frequency (RF) switches that may provide increased power handling capability. In general, the embodiments described herein can provide this increased power handling by equalizing the voltages across transistors when the RF switch is open. Specifically, the embodiments described herein can be implemented to equalize the source-drain voltages across each field effect transistor (FET) in a FET stack that occurs when the RF switch is open and not conducting current. This equalization can be provided by using one or more compensation circuits to couple one or more gates and transistor bodies in the FET stack in a way that at least partially compensates for the effects of parasitic leakage currents in the FET stack. In addition, multiple FET stacks are implemented in parallel in at least some switch branches to improve settling time for the branch.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2021Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: NXP USA, Inc.Inventor: Venkata Naga Koushik Malladi

Patent number: 11671916Abstract: An energy efficient protocol for a communication network made up of a network of wireless communication nodes is disclosed. To reduce the amount of energy consumed by the nodes, the nodes operate in a reduced power duty cycle acquisition mode of operation in which the nodes cycle between a low power standby state and a higher power detection state. The nodes are forced to transition out of the duty cycle acquisition mode in response to detection of a triggering event when in the detection state. The operating parameters of the reduced power duty cycle acquisition mode can be modified based on current operating conditions on the network.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2020Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Schlumberder Technoloav CorporstionInventor: Khaled Mouffok

Patent number: 11659420Abstract: Systems and methods provide on-demand network slicing to support testing of customer use cases A test network management system receives customer parameters for a use case in a production network. The customer parameters include an identifier for a user equipment (UE) device to be tested with the use case. The test network management system provides, to the UE device, configuration information to associate the UE device with a test mode network segment of the production network.
