  • Publication number: 20240107414
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for switching a secondary cell to a primary cell. A user equipment (UE) monitors a first radio condition of the UE for beams of a primary cell and a second radio condition for beams of one or more secondary cells configured for the UE in carrier aggregation. The UE transmits a request to configure a candidate beam of at least one candidate secondary cell as a new primary cell in response to the first radio condition not satisfying a first threshold and the second radio condition for the at least one candidate secondary cell satisfying a second threshold. A base station determines to reconfigure at least one secondary cell as the new primary cell. The base station and the UE perform a handover of the UE to the new primary cell.

  • Patent number: 11821952
    Abstract: A method of estimating a d-q axis inductance of a permanent magnet synchronous motor includes the following steps. First, building an equivalent motor control block through enabling two of the three phases, and disabling the remaining one of the three phases, and locking a rotor. Afterward, incorporating a back EMF observer into a DC motor control block, and making the DC motor control block correspond to the back EMF observer by commanding an angular speed of the DC motor control block to be zero. Afterward, introducing the equivalent motor control block into the DC motor control block, and using the back EMF observer to estimate the back EMF, and repeating above steps taking turns to disable one phase so as to obtain three sets of motor inductances respectively. Finally, estimating the d-q axis inductance by introducing the three sets of equivalent motor inductances into an inductance relational equation.
