  • Publication number: 20230076875
    Abstract: Computer technology where a data table and its index are created using a VOLATILE column type. Records are inserted with a final value and index is inserted with staging value. One bit is used in the data record header to indicate whether it is in-sync with its index. One bit in index key header indicates either this can be an index only update or needs to be a regular update. In the beginning, when a record is inserted into data page, both flag bits will be in the off status, meaning the data record is not in sync with its index entry and only index-only update(s) may be performed. This can prevent needless updates to a data page stored in a volatile memory (for example, a random access memory).

  • Publication number: 20230036243
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for responding to a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) condition in uplink communications. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) wireless device may detect an MPE condition associated with a cell in an uplink channel from the UE in the wireless communication network. The UE may configure a medium access control layer control element (MAC-CE) to indicate information related to the cell associated with the detected MPE condition and an alternative beam that avoids an MPE condition for use in uplink communications. The configured MAC-CE may include a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel resource block indicator (SSBRI) or a channel state information resource indicator (CRI) that indicates an alternative UE panel, a feasible UE panel, Tx beam for UL transmissions or Tx beam for UL transmissions taking into account the detected MPE condition.

  • Patent number: 11520769
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, system, and computer program product for block level lock on a data table. According to the method, in response to first transactional processing to be applied on a data table, one or more processors determine that first target data to be accessed during execution of the first transactional processing is comprised in a continuous range of data in the data table. One or more processors determine whether a block lock is available for locking the continuous range of data for the first transactional processing. In accordance with a determination that the block lock is available, one or more processors grant the first transactional processing with the block lock, the block lock being associated with lock information indicating the continuous range of data.
