Abstract: Techniques for using hardware-based mechanisms for updating computing resources are described herein. At a time after receiving a code update request, one or more hardware-supported system management capabilities of processors within a computing system are invoked at least to interrupt execution of currently running instructions. While the system management capabilities are active and instruction execution is suspended, programmatic routines are updated. After the updates are complete, instruction execution is resumed.

Abstract: A distribution network for distributing clock and reset signals across an address macro has circuit blocks having dividers and counters, drivers connected in a balanced tree, and drivers connected in an unbalanced tree. The dividers and counters are synchronized relative to a clock signal. The drivers connected in the balanced tree distribute the clock signal synchronously to the circuit blocks. The drivers connected in the unbalanced tree distribute a reset signal to the circuit blocks. The clock signal is distributed via the balanced tree as a function of the reset signal.

Abstract: A base station determines whether a mobile unit should handoff based upon the battery level and battery drain of the mobile unit battery. The battery level and battery drain are sent from the mobile unit to the base station. The base station uses this information to determine whether the mobile unit should power up or power down LTE-U or WiFi radio connections and services. In addition, this information allows the base station to determine whether the mobile unit should handoff between LTE-L and LTE-U base stations, in order to control power consumption of the mobile unit and prolong the battery life of the mobile unit.
