Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, a first node, a second node, and a computer program product for providing an interruption free communication, in a wireless communication network. The method is performed by a second node in the wireless communication network. The method includes detecting that one or more management operations are to be executed at the second node, the execution of the one or more management operations causing an interruption of the wireless communication to from a user equipment. Upon detecting that the one or more management operations are to be executed at the second node, the method includes receiving an indication from one or more first nodes, the indication indicating to the second node whether or not to execute the one or more management operations. Further, the method includes determining to execute the one or more management operations based on the received indication.

Abstract: The present invention provides a content addressable memory (CAM) circuit that includes at least one row of memory cells storing data to be subjected to search data for a compare operation, with the cells in each row being inter-connected by a match line. Each cell can, if the search data does not match the stored data, discharge the match line in an evaluation operation. According to the present invention, a match line is partitioned into a least two segments, each segment having a first unit for precharging and evaluating the match line segment and a second unit for determining the result of the evaluation operation. The compare operation of the second and any subsequent segments is performed and the corresponding matchline segment involved only if the result of the compare operation of the respective preceding segment indicates a data match.

Abstract: A process and device for providing an analog-to-digital conversion employing a successive approximation principle is provided. The search interval from a value X to a Value Y, which represents the value interval in which an unknown analog signal is to be converted to a digital signal value, is divided into a number of smaller search intervals, being divided into different area for employing a successive approximation process to iterate to the desired digital signal value. Further, reference levels are defined for each search interval to coincide with at least one other reference level, where coinciding reference level belongs to two search intervals formed by areas in a nearest larger search interval.
