  • Publication number: 20220261183
    Abstract: A method performed by a controller of an SSD, the controller coupled to a non-volatile semiconductor memory device and comprising a first command queue (Q1) and a second command queue (Q2). The method comprises selecting from a submission queue at least one command from a host, the command relating to an action to be performed on the memory device. The method comprises determining if a number of in-flight commands received from the host via the submission queue and already present in Q1 exceeds a threshold. The method comprises adding the selected command to Q2 if the threshold is exceeded, otherwise adding the selected command to Q1. The method comprises processing a first command from Q1 and a second command from Q2 to perform a first action and a second action, respectively, on the memory device, the first action being completed in advance of the second action.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate with other network devices as part of a wireless communications system. The UE may identify a blockage corresponding to one or more antenna arrays of a set of antenna arrays based on using a first set of beam weights, which may correspond to a static beamforming codebook of the one or more antenna arrays. The UE may switch from a static beamforming codebook-based beam weight determination to a dynamic beamforming codebook-based beam weight determination. The UE may then determine a second set of beam weights to use for the one or more antenna arrays based on the dynamic beamforming codebook-based beam weight determination. The UE may then communicate using the one or more antenna arrays according to the second set of beam weights.

  • Publication number: 20220141813
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to select a set of beams to generate energy in a first coverage region (e.g., an out-of-coverage (OOC) region) to reduce the effects of a distorted electric field. The UE may select the set of beams based on gain parameters associated with a set of antennas at the UE, where the gain parameters are determined for communications in a second coverage region (e.g., an in-coverage (INC) region). In some examples, the UE may use iterative techniques to select the beams. In some examples, the UE may select the set of beams based on calculations using a set of codebook beams associated with the second coverage region. In some examples, the UE may additionally select the set of beams for communications in the second coverage region.
