  • Publication number: 20240385803
    Abstract: A compute-in-memory (CIM) device has a memory array with a plurality of memory cells arranged in rows and columns. The plurality of memory cells includes a first memory cell in a first row and a first column of the memory array and a second memory cell in the first row and a second column of the memory array. The first and second memory cells are configured to store respective first and second weight signals. An input driver provides a plurality of input signals. A first logic circuit is coupled to the first memory cell to provide a first output signal based on a first input signal from the input driver and the first weight signal. A second logic circuit is coupled to the second memory cell to provide a second output signal based on a second input signal from the input driver and the second weight signal.

  • Patent number: 12149924
    Abstract: Aspects are provided which allow a UE to disable measurements of reference signals from 5G base stations which are inapplicable to EN-DC. The UE may receive a reference signal from a base station. The UE may identify a frequency range. The UE may determine whether to measure the reference signal based on whether the reference signal is within the identified frequency range. The UE may refrain from measuring the reference signal in response to the determination. The UE may also refrain from measuring the reference signal in response to a SIB received at the UE not including a ULI, or in response to a frequency associated with the reference signal not being in a list of supported bands for EN-DC. As a result, inter-RAT handovers from LTE base stations to 5G base stations are prevented, UE power consumption is thereby saved, and support for EN-DC is maintained.
