  • Patent number: 9973958
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improved inter-frequency measurement are disclosed herein. User equipment (UE) may be configured to communicatively couple to an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) Node B (eNB). The eNB may determine a measurement pattern indicating when the UE should perform inter-frequency measurements. The measurement pattern may be selected such that the UE performs measurements more often than once per measurement cycle. The measurement pattern may be selected to balance timing requirements for the UE with increased power consumption that may result from more frequent measurements. The eNB may determine the measurement pattern based on an estimate of UE speed and a number of frequencies to be monitored. A default pattern may be used if the UE speed and/or number of frequencies do not exceed predetermined thresholds.

  • Patent number: 9973332
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus including a PLL unit to an original clock signal, a pair of phase interpolators, a sampler, a phase detector, a control unit and a loop filter is provided. The phase interpolators receive the original clock signal and generate a reference clock signal and an auxiliary clock signal offset by 90 degrees having transition edges. The sampler samples an input data signal at each of the transition edge. The phase detector determines a phase difference of a data transition of the input data signal relative to the reference clock signal. The control unit superimposes an adjusting phase on phases of the reference clock signal and the auxiliary clock signal according to the phase difference. The phase detector determines that the phase difference is within a predetermined range. The loop filter superimposes a varying phase on the phases of the reference clock signal and the auxiliary clock signal accordly.
