  • Patent number: 8768397
    Abstract: A wireless communication device is configured for performing uplink transmission power control. The wireless communication device includes a processor and instructions stored in memory. The wireless communication device performs uplink transmission power control for multiple regulated frequency bands or component carriers. The wireless communication device determines a total transmission power for at least one component carrier and allocates transmission power to at least one antenna.

  • Patent number: 8259887
    Abstract: A method for detecting a specific timing from a synchronization channel is described. A signal with a known sequence is received. Two or more correlation values between the received signal and the known sequence are calculated at two or more positions. The two or more correlation values are compared. A determination is made whether the position of the known sequence has been shifted based on the comparison. A specific timing of a synchronization channel is detected based on the determination.

  • Patent number: 8059588
    Abstract: A method for shifting the position of a symbol to reduce transmission overhead is described. A frame with a plurality of symbols is provided. A determination is made whether the frame includes an indication of an event. At least one symbol of the plurality of symbols is shifted based on the determination. A counter is set to an initial value. The frame with the at least one shifted symbol is transmitted.

  • Patent number: 4342079
    Abstract: A fully duplicated memory system for a single central processing unit (CPU) is disclosed. The memory system comprises a primary and a secondary control unit and a primary memory bank and a secondary memory bank. Each memory bank comprises one memory controller and a plurality of memory modules (e.g. six memory modules). Each memory module stores a plurality of binary words in distinct addressable storage locations with a unique address code defining both one distinct addressable storage location in a memory module in the first memory bank and one distinct addressable storage location in a memory module in the second memory bank. A random access memory (RAM) stores an indication of the read and write status of each memory module in both the first and second memory banks. One of the control units, responsive to both the CPU and the RAM determines which memory bank (primary or secondary) is accessed in response to a read or a write command from the CPU addressed to the memory banks.
