  • Publication number: 20240126120
    Abstract: A display may have a pixel array such as a liquid crystal pixel array. The pixel array may be illuminated with backlight illumination from a direct-lit backlight unit. The backlight unit may include an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on a printed circuit board. The display may have a notch to accommodate an input-output component. Reflective layers may be included in the notch. The backlight may include a color conversion layer with a property that varies as a function of position. The light-emitting diodes may be covered by a slab of encapsulant with recesses in an upper surface.

  • Patent number: 9252905
    Abstract: A radio network node antenna management system dynamically manages a multi-antenna structure (200). The multi-antenna structure (200) includes a set of n antennas with beamforming capability. The antenna management system monitors a condition in a radio network cell served by the radio network node. If the monitored condition is less than or equal to a predetermined criteria, a beamforming operation is disabled and a subset, less than n, of the set of n antennas is managed according to a predetermined antenna hopping pattern.

  • Patent number: 9130709
    Abstract: A cell edge user central based CoMP CS JP mode selection scheme to minimize inter-cell downlink interference. According to the distribution of different types of users adaptive select optimal transmission scheme. After guaranteeing the performance of cell edge user at first, mode selection should be applied to select suitable paired users in order to increase the cell average throughput. Through carefully designing the SINR gaps and level of interference for mode selection, mode selection is a significant solution for the tradeoff between cell edge user throughput and cell average throughput and the tradeoff between performance and complexity.
