  • Patent number: 12284724
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and apparatus. The apparatus includes a receiving module and a sending module. When the receiving module receives a user equipment UE capability query message sent by a network device, the sending module sends a first UE capability message (including a first UE capability specification) to the network device, and when determining that a network exception occurs, sends a second UE capability message (including a second UE capability specification that is lower than the first UE capability specification) to the network device. This helps implement mutual compatibility between the terminal device and the network device, thereby ensuring that a communication link can be quickly established between the terminal device and the network device. In this way, a user can normally use the terminal device, and the terminal device can keep using a high-standard network as much as possible, thereby improving user experience.

  • Publication number: 20250095357
    Abstract: A hardware accelerator comprises a PE array, an internal buffer unit, and a data scheduler. The data scheduler obtains multiple image lines from the internal buffer unit and schedules the PE array to sequentially perform MAC (multiply-accumulate) operations on the multiple image lines. There are overlapping pixel lines between adjacent image lines, and the overlapping pixel lines are subjected to MAC operations in both of their adjacent image lines to which they belong. During the MAC operations on each image line, the PEs of the PE array are scheduled to perform MAC operations in tiles on multiple tiles included in each image line. For adjacent tiles, the operation result of the overlapping portion between the previous tile and the subsequent tile is cached, and combined with the operation result of the non-overlapping portion of the subsequent tile to form the MAC operation result of the subsequent tile.
