Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for data compression and decompression. The present implementations more specifically relate to entropy encoding and decoding techniques for keeping a state variable within upper and lower bounds using a noniterative process. The entropy encoding uses a fixed state threshold to determine a number of bits to remove and removes the bits from a current state prior to encoding a symbol with the current state. The entropy decoding decodes encoded data in a bitstream based on a current state to obtain the symbol and a new state and determines a number of bits to read from the bitstream and to add to the new state to update the current state.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for adjusting an encoding timing or a decoding timing in a manner that minimizes disruption of ongoing uplink or downlink traffic. Some aspects more specifically relate to decoupling adjustment of the encoding timing and adjustment the decoding timing to enable independent adjustment of the encoding timing or the decoding timing. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may perform adjustment of the encoding timing, relative to an active time indicated by a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration, at a time at which uplink traffic is absent. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may perform adjustment of the decoding timing, relative to an active time indicated by a DRX configuration, at a time at which downlink traffic is absent. Accordingly, upon receiving a DRX configuration, the UE may wait until a period in which uplink traffic or downlink traffic is absent to perform a timing adjustment.
