Patent number: 11985573Abstract: Methods and systems for reporting zero usage for immediate trigger types are discussed herein. According to an implementation a communication session is established between a user equipment (UE) and the 5G network to provide service/content requested by the UE. A session management function (SMF) may receives a message from the UE to report the usage of one or more data units granted to the UE. The message indicates that an event occurs during a zero-usage time period. The SMF determines whether the event triggers a charging condition. When the event triggers a charging condition that needs to be reported immediately, the SMF sends a charging data request to a charging function (CHF) to report the event, regardless the one or more data units have zero-usage.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2021Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventor: Robert L.

Patent number: 11984161Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to spike current suppression in a memory array. In one approach, a memory device includes a memory array having a cross-point memory architecture. The memory array has access lines (e.g., word lines and/or bit lines) configured to access memory cells of the memory array. Each access line has left and right portions. Spike current suppression is implemented by charge screening structures. The charge screening structures are formed by laterally integrating insulating layers into selected interior regions of the left and/or right portions of the access line. The insulating layers vertically separate the access line into top and bottom conductive portions above and below the insulating layers. For memory cells located overlying or underlying the insulating layers, the resistance to each memory cell is increased because the cell is accessed using only the higher resistance path of the top or bottom conductive portion.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Srivatsan Venkatesan, Sundaravadivel Rajarajan, Iniyan Soundappa Elango, Robert Douglas Cassel
