  • Patent number: 11100039
    Abstract: An interconnection system including a first gating unit and a second gating unit is provided. The first gating unit includes two terminals, with one terminal connecting to a first CPU directly, where the two terminals are indirectly connected when the first gating unit is in a first state. The second gating unit includes two terminals, with one terminal connecting to a second CPU, where the two terminals are connected when the second gating unit is in the first state. Another terminal of the first gating unit is connected to another terminal of the second gating unit. If both the first gating unit and the second gating unit are in the first state, the first CPU is connected to the second CPU.

  • Patent number: 10154531
    Abstract: A D2D link discovery method, which includes: obtaining, by UE, a neighboring UE list from a server, where the neighboring UE list includes related information of M neighboring UEs, and the related information is information required by the UE to determine whether a D2D connection to corresponding neighboring UE can be established by using a multiple-antenna technology; extracting, by the UE, the related information of the M neighboring UEs from the neighboring UE list, and determining N neighboring UEs from the M neighboring UEs based on the related information of the M neighboring UEs, where the N neighboring UEs are UEs to which D2D connections can be established by the UE by using the multiple-antenna technology; and performing, by the UE based on the multiple-antenna technology, link mapping between the UE and the N neighboring UEs to obtain respective links corresponding to the N neighboring UEs.

  • Publication number: 20180181536
    Abstract: The present application discloses a CPU interconnect apparatus and system, and a CPU interconnect control method and control apparatus. The CPU interconnect apparatus includes two gating units and one first intermediate line. Each gating unit includes a first terminal and a second terminal. The first terminal is connected to the second terminal when the gating unit is in a first state. The first terminal is disconnected from the second terminal when the gating unit is in a second state. The two first terminals of the two gating units are connected to two CPUs in a first node. The two second terminals of the two gating units are connected to two ends of the first intermediate line, or the two second terminals of the two gating units are configured to connect to two CPUs in a second node.
