Abstract: Embodiments concern managing traffic in a radio device. While classifying user-plane packets from multiple applications according to quality of service requirements, a specific user-plane packet is classified as/determined to be a predetermined special-type packet (e.g., the special-type packets establish a new TCP/IP connection for a newly activated application). Based on that, that specific user-plane packet is mapped to a pre-defined radio bearer associated with a preconfigured priority, for example a highest priority among all bearers to which any of these user-plane packets from the multiple applications are mapped. Then all the mapped user-plane packets are scheduled for transmission according to their respective priorities. For example, the specific user-plane packet could be a SDU having a SYN, SYN-ACK or ACK, and the network convergence sub-layer (NCS) constructs a L2 NCS PDU using a designated format with the SDU in the payload and context information in the header.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosed subject matter propose disposing deep trench isolation structure around the perimeter of the pixel transistor region of the pixel cell. In some example embodiments, the deep trench isolation structure extends into the semiconductor substrate from the back side of the semiconductor substrate and abuts against or contacts the bottom of shallow trench isolation structure disposed in the front side of the semiconductor substrate. Together, the trench isolating structure isolates the transistor channel of the pixel transistor region. The formation and arrangement of the trench isolation structure in the pixel transistor region forms a floating doped well region, such as a floating P-doped well region (P-well), containing a floating diffusion (FD) and source/drains (e.g., (N) doped regions) of the pixel transistors. This floating P-well region aims to reduce junction leakage associated with the floating diffusion region of the pixel cell.
