  • Patent number: 12271317
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for creating high density logical to physical mapping are described. A memory system may implement storage of mapping information to store the logical addresses and the corresponding physical addresses. A memory system may receive a command associated with data and a corresponding set of logical addresses, and in some cases the memory device may determine that the logical addresses are sequential. The memory device may generate and store a set of compressed entries in a macro level of the mapping information. When the memory system receives a command associated with an exception to the sequential logical addresses, the memory system may update an entry of the macro level to include a pointer to a set of entries in another level of the mapping information.

  • Patent number: 12273940
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to perform methods for EPS fallback when initiating a voice call while camped on a 5G cell. The UE may camp on a 5G network by performing an IMS registration procedure/IMS SIP invite procedure with an IMS. The UE may initiate a voice call and determine that the voice call cannot be established over the 5G NR network. In response, the UE may perform a TAU procedure or an attachment procedure with a cell of a 4G network. The IMS may be transferred to the 4G network during TAU/attachment procedure. The UE may, in response to determining that it is barred from the 4G network, transition back to the 5G network and transmit, to the 5G NR network, a SIP cancel request to allow a context associated with the UE to be cleared from the IMS.
