Abstract: A data journaling method in a solid state storage device, the method including: receiving a read request; determining whether updated data mapping for the read request is located in at least one of a volatile journal and a nonvolatile journal using a Bloom filter; searching the volatile journal if the updated data mapping for the request is located in the Bloom filter, and then, searching the nonvolatile journal if the updated data mapping for the request is not found in the volatile journal; and stopping the search when the updated data mapping is found.

Abstract: A method of operating a storage device including a nonvolatile memory can be provided by receiving, from a host, address change information including changing logical addresses for data to be stored in the nonvolatile memory. Physical addresses can be sequentially allocated to the changing logical addresses included in the address change information to provide a first journal. A portion of at least one physical address allocated to the changing logical addresses can be removed to provide a second journal and the second journal can be stored in the nonvolatile memory.

Abstract: A memory system includes a table storing a plurality of entries, where each entry is associated with a different logical block address (LBA), a plurality of memory devices, channels, and ways, where each memory device is connected to one of the channels ways and to one of the ways, and a memory controller configured to receive an LBA and data from a host, execute a plurality of pseudo-random functions on the received LBA to generate a plurality of slot indexes, select one of the slot indexes, write the data to one of the memory devices identified by the selected one slot index, and update a corresponding one of the entries to include the selected one slot index.

Abstract: A memory device includes a nonvolatile memory and a memory controller. The memory controller receives first data from a host file system; stores the first data in a first physical block of the nonvolatile memory identified by a first physical page number (PPN); associates the first PPN with a first virtual page number (VPN); and communicates the first VPN to the host file system in response to receiving the first data.

Abstract: Selecting an optimal ECINR mode in a digital communication system, by constructing an offline relevant modes database having a list of transmission-reception methods for possible MIMO configurations, and mobility characterization, gathering online channel state and capabilities information, retrieving parameters from the relevant modes database, based on the gathered data/information for creating a concurrent list, excluding some MIMO modes off the list, for which the available channel matrix is insufficient, the modes left at the end of this step being “currently relevant modes’, calculating post processing per tome physical CINR (PCINR) for each of the currently relevant modes found, calculating ECINR for each of the currently relevant modes using the PCINR, choosing the optimal MIMO mode and MCS combination, which is the parameters' combination with highest throughput, which provide the best ECINR under QoS requirements.

Abstract: A method for maintaining satellite diversity for a WiMAX system comprising: A. Dividing a set of UTs or users into subsets wherein each set is devised such that the maximal time delay between its members does not exceed the GI length; B. One or more BS's or satellites acquires information or estimation regarding relative delay between subsets; C. A different FFT is performed for each subset, wherein each has its own time alignment; D. Interference reduction means are implemented in the frequency domain between subsets.
