  • Publication number: 20200366424
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards adaptively selecting a repetition level in wireless communications, based on events to improve coverage range via the repetition level while not unnecessarily reducing throughput. One such event can include a current signal-to-noise-ratio, e.g., as reported in a channel quality indicator report from a user equipment. Another such event can comprise a number of consecutive hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgments or negative acknowledgments (HARQ ACKS/NACKS), in which consecutive ACKs tend to indicate good signal quality, while consecutive NACKs tend to indicate poor signal quality. A combination of channel quality indicator-based adaptive repetition level and HARQ ACK/NACK-based adaptive repetition level can be employed.

  • Patent number: 8963825
    Abstract: A display device includes a backlight module, a backlight control module and a flicker removing module. The backlight module electrically connected between an input pin and an output pin which belong to the backlight control module, provides a backlight source to a display panel. The input pin receives a first voltage to control a continuity of an input current which is supplied to the backlight module and has no frequency variation. The flicker removing module electrically connected to the output pin receives a pulse width modulation signal and according to a duty cycle of the pulse width modulation signal, controls an output current outputted by the output pin, so as to control the backlight control module to control the input current according to the output current. The input current is associated with a backlight brightness of the backlight module.
