  • Patent number: 11963036
    Abstract: An apparatus and system to enable dynamic offloading and execution of compute tasks are described. In split CU-DU RAN architectures, the CU-CP is connected with multiple compute control functions (CF) and service functions (SF) that have different computing hardware/software capabilities. Different architectures depend on whether the SF is collocated with the CU-UP, the CU-UP and SF only serve compute messages, a compute message is supplied directly to the CU-UP or also traverses the CU-CP. In response to reception from a UE of a compute message containing data for computation being sent to the CU-CP through the DU, the CU-CP sends the data to the SF with identifiers and sends the result to the UE.

  • Publication number: 20240114692
    Abstract: Inverted pillar capacitors that have a U-shaped insulating layer are oriented with the U-shaped opening of the insulating layer opening toward the surface of the substrate on which the inverted pillar capacitors are formed. The bottom electrodes of adjacent inverted pillar capacitors are isolated from each other by the insulating layers of the adjacent electrodes and the top electrode that fills the volume between the electrodes. By avoiding the need to isolate adjacent bottom electrodes by an isolation dielectric region, inverted pillar capacitors can provide for a greater capacitor density relative to non-inverted pillar capacitors. The insulating layer in inverted pillar capacitors can comprise a ferroelectric material or an antiferroelectric material. The inverted pillar capacitor can be used in memory circuits (e.g., DRAMs) or non-memory applications.
