  • Publication number: 20240098563
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive information identifying a recovery time associated with packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) communication using a reordering timer, wherein a distribution of recovered PDCP counts associated with the PDCP communication is associated with a configured characteristic for a packet recovery time. The UE may communicate on a link using a communication configuration associated with a correlation between the packet recovery time and a link characteristic. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Patent number: 11904959
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting water within an electronic power steering assembly. A sensor assembly includes a resistor and a water-sensitive capacitor arranged to provide a series resistor-capacitor (RC) network having a cut-off frequency that is a function of a capacitance of the water-sensitive capacitor. An oscillator provides an excitation to the series RC network having a known frequency, such that the series RC network provides an output in response to the excitation. An envelope detector receives the output of the series RC network and generates an output representing an amplitude of the output of the series RC network. A microcontroller determines if water is present within the electronic power steering assembly from the amplitude of the output of the series RC network.

  • Publication number: 20220151021
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to handle unordered signaling radio bearer (SRB) packets are disclosed. In some aspects, the apparatus may be a user equipment (UE) or a base station. The apparatus may receive a signaling radio bearer (SRB) packet, buffer it in a radio link control (RLC)-to-Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) reordering window, and selectively forward or discard the SRB packet based upon a reordering timer with a first expiration period that is greater than a second expiration period associated with a data radio bearer (DRB) reordering timer, to give the apparatus extra time to receive a missing SRB packet while maintaining a shorter latency for DRB packets. In some aspects, the apparatus may detect an out-of-order (OOO) SRB packet and request retransmission without waiting for a sending communications device to check on receive status.

  • Patent number: 11101871
    Abstract: In a particular implementation, a method of wireless communication includes searching, at a user equipment (UE) having a first subscriber identity module (SIM) and a second SIM, transmit beams from a base station and receive beams from the UE to determine a subset of transmit beams. The method also includes storing indicators of the subset of transmit beams in a database accessible to the UE in response to the second SIM performing a particular operation that causes the first SIM to perform a tune away operation. The method further includes, after completion of the particular operation, performing measurement operations on the subset of transmit beams to select a particular transmit beam of the subset of transmit beams and a corresponding particular receive beam for attachment to the base station.

  • Patent number: 10891131
    Abstract: A decode unit to decode an instruction that indicates a source packed data that includes data elements, and indicates a source mask that includes mask elements. Each of the mask elements corresponds to a different one of the data elements. Each of the mask elements is one of a masked mask element and an unmasked mask element. The processor also includes an execution unit coupled with the decode unit. The execution unit, in response to the instruction, is to store a result packed data. When the source packed data includes one or more masked data elements disposed within unmasked data elements, the result packed data includes, the unmasked data elements consolidated together without the one or more masked data elements disposed within them. The execution unit, is to store a result in a second destination storage location that reflects a number of the unmasked data elements consolidated together.

  • Patent number: 9845271
    Abstract: A catalyst system and a process for methanol to light olefin conversion with enhanced selectivity towards propylene. The catalyst system comprises a honeycomb monolith catalyst support coated with aluminosilicate nanozeolite catalysts on the edges and inside the channels of the support structure. The aluminosilicate nanozeolite catalysts have not been pre-modified with a promoter metal. The catalyst system gives higher hydrothermal stability to the catalyst compared to randomly packed pellet catalysts and allows methanol to be converted to predominantly propylene at a low temperature, with decreased selectivity towards C2, higher olefins and paraffinic hydrocarbons.
