  • Patent number: 12375070
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to the management of a multi-trim oscillator to provide synchronization across multiple frequencies derived from the multi-trim oscillator without causing spurious pulses of clock output. In one example, a system provides a first clock signal via an oscillator and a second clock signal based on the first clock signal and a divider. The system further receives a first signal that indicates a change in a frequency of the first clock signal from a first frequency to a second frequency. In response to the first signal, the system determines an edge of the second clock signal and provides, at a time based on the edge of the second clock signal, a second signal to the oscillator to cause the change to the second frequency.

  • Patent number: 12369103
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The network may manage access to a cell on a per-beam basis. The network may indicate, for a given beam, whether a user equipment (UE) is able to access the cell via the given beam. Accordingly, the UE may access a cell using a beam that is not barred for the UE. In some examples, control signaling may include a list of each beam associated with the cell and may indicate whether each beam is barred or accessible. In some examples, control signaling include a field indicating whether the particular beam on which the control signaling was transmitted is barred. In some examples, control signaling may indicate whether a cell is barred. The UE may interpret the indication of whether the cell is barred as indicating whether the beam on which the control signaling was transmitted is barred.
