Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a bottom electrode via, a top electrode via over the bottom electrode via, a memory cell between the bottom electrode via and the top electrode via, a first dielectric layer over the memory cell, and a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer, and a via structure separated from the memory cell. A height of the via structure is substantially equal to a sum of a height of the bottom electrode via, a height of the memory cell, and a height of the top electrode via. The first dielectric layer partially surrounds a first portion of the via structure, and the second dielectric layer partially surrounds a second portion of the via structure. A height of the second portion of the via structure is greater than a height of the first portion of the via structure.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a control method in user equipment and user equipment. The control method in user equipment includes: transmitting, to a base station, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection reestablishment request message for requesting RRC connection reestablishment; receiving an RRC connection reestablishment response message transmitted by the base station as a response to the RRC connection reestablishment request message; when the RRC connection reestablishment response message indicates that RRC connection reestablishment is performed, a UE RRC layer performs an RRC connection reestablishment operation; and when the RRC connection reestablishment response message is an RRC connection establishment message used to instruct the UE to establish a new RRC connection, the UE RRC layer performs an RRC connection establishment operation, and a UE NAS layer initiates an NAS connection recovery procedure.

Abstract: A responder user equipment (UE) in separate ranging sessions may determine whether there is a collision between the ranging signals assigned to broadcast in the separate ranging sessions. A collision in the ranging signals is detected when the ranging signals have the same frequencies and broadcast times, e.g., the broadcast time of one ranging signal is within a predetermined amount of time for the other ranging signal. When a collision in the ranging signals is detected, the responder UE sends a message to the initiator UE indicating the possibility of a collision. Available times for broadcasting the ranging signals may be determined, e.g., by the responder UE or the initiator UE. The initiator UE may initiate a new ranging session based on the available times for broadcasting the ranging signal or may proceed with the ranging session with the possibility that the responder UE will not participate.
