  • Patent number: 10116407
    Abstract: An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) receiver includes detection logic, offset generation logic, tone erasure logic, and correction generation logic. The detection logic is configured to detect a signal containing a block of samples that includes a narrowband interferer from a communication channel. The offset generation logic is configured to align a frequency of the narrowband interferer to a center of a subcarrier frequency of the communication channel to produce an offset signal thereby introducing inter-carrier interference (ICI). The tone erasure logic is configured to remove the subcarrier frequency from the offset signal to produce an interferer erased offset signal. The correction generation logic is configured to remove the ICI to produce an interferer erased signal.

  • Patent number: 10115444
    Abstract: Data bit inversion tracking in cache memory to reduce data bits written for write operations is disclosed. In one aspect, a cache memory including a cache controller and a cache array is provided. The cache array includes one or more cache entries, each of which includes a cache data field and a bit change track field. The cache controller compares a current cache data word to a new data word to be written and stores a bit track change word representing the difference (i.e., inverted bits) between the current cache data word and the new data word in the bit change track field. By using the bit track change word stored in the bit change track field to determine whether fewer bit writes are required to write data in an inverted or a non-inverted form, power consumption can be reduced for write operations through reduced bit write operations.
