  • Patent number: 11791872
    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods which include wireless devices and systems with examples of an autocorrelation calculator. An electronic device including an autocorrelation calculator may be configured to calculate an autocorrelation matrix including an autocorrelation of symbols indicative of a first narrowband Internet of Things (IoT) transmission and a second narrowband IoT transmission. The electronic device may calculate the autocorrelation matrix based on a stored autocorrelation matrix and the autocorrelation of symbols indicative of the first narrowband IoT transmission and symbols indicative of the second narrowband IoT transmission. The stored autocorrelation matrix may represent another received signal at a different time period than a time period of the first and second narrowband IoT transmission.

  • Patent number: 11782721
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for organizing bits in a memory device are described. In a number of embodiments, an apparatus can include an array of memory cells, a data interface, a multiplexer coupled between the array of memory cells and the data interface, and a controller coupled to the array of memory cells, the controller configured to cause the apparatus to latch bits associated with a row of memory cells in the array in a number of sense amplifiers in a prefetch operation and send the bits from the sense amplifiers, through a multiplexer, to a data interface, which may include or be referred to as DQs. The bits may be sent to the DQs in a particular order that may correspond to a particular matrix configuration and may thus facilitate or reduce the complexity of arithmetic operations performed on the data.

  • Publication number: 20230308518
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for incentivizing device participation within a distributed network. In one exemplary embodiment, devices of a fog network may provide for example, computational, storage, and/or network resources in exchange for fungible tokens. In one such variant, the user contributions are recorded in a blockchain data structure, thereby enabling users to be compensated for their contributions of resources to the network at a later time. Unlike traditional networking techniques which often rely on centralized networks directing and/or commandeering user equipment for network bandwidth, the various aspects of the present disclosure are directed to ensuring that crediting and debiting of participation can be performed at the edge of the network (within the fog) without requiring authentication or trust exchanges. More directly, various aspects of the present disclosure are directed to verification and/or validation of work performed by peer devices.

  • Patent number: 11755408
    Abstract: Examples described herein utilize multi-layer neural networks, such as multi-layer recurrent neural networks, to estimate a bit error rate (BER) of encoded data based on a retrieved version of encoded data (e.g., data encoded using one or more encoding techniques) from a memory. The neural networks may have nonlinear mapping and distributed processing capabilities which may be advantageous to estimate a BER of encoded data, e.g., to facilitate decoding of the encoded data. In this manner, neural networks described herein may be used to improve or facilitate aspects of decoding at ECC decoders, e.g., by comparing an estimated BER to a threshold (e.g., a threshold BER level) prior to decoding of the encoded data. For example, an additional NN activation indication may be provided, e.g., to indicate that the encoded data may be decoded or to indicate that error present in the encoded data is to be reduced.

  • Patent number: 11710524
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to organizing data to correspond to a matrix at a memory device are described. Data can be organized by circuitry coupled to an array of memory cells prior to the processing resources executing instructions on the data. The organization of data may thus occur on a memory device, rather than at an external processor. A controller coupled to the array of memory cells may direct the circuitry to organize the data in a matrix configuration to prepare the data for processing by the processing resources. The circuitry may be or include a column decode circuitry that organizes the data based on a command from the host associated with the processing resource. For example, data read in a prefetch operation may be selected to correspond to rows or columns of a matrix configuration.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods related to memory pooling between selected memory resources are described. A system using a memory pool formed as such may enable performance of functions, including automated functions critical for prevention of damage to a product, personnel safety, and/or reliable operation, based on increased access to data that may improve performance of a mission profile. For instance, one apparatus described herein includes a memory resource, a processing resource coupled to the memory resource, and a transceiver resource coupled to the processing resource. The memory resource, the processing resource, and the transceiver resource are configured to enable formation of a memory pool between the memory resource and another memory resource at another apparatus responsive to a request to access the other memory resource transmitted from the processing resource via the transceiver.

  • Publication number: 20230208458
    Abstract: Examples described herein include methods, devices, and systems which may compensate input data for nonlinear power amplifier noise to generate compensated input data. In compensating the noise, during an uplink transmission time interval (TTI), a switch path is activated to provide amplified input data to a receiver stage including a recurrent neural network (RNN). The RNN may calculate an error representative of the noise based partly on the input signal to be transmitted and a feedback signal to generate filter coefficient data associated with the power amplifier noise. The feedback signal is provided, after processing through the receiver, to the RNN. During an uplink TTI, the amplified input data may also be transmitted as the RF wireless transmission via an RF antenna. During a downlink TTI, the switch path may be deactivated and the receiver stage may receive an additional RF wireless transmission to be processed in the receiver stage.
