Abstract: Device-to-device (D2D) communication is one alternative to communication between devices through a radio access network. One interesting D2D communication method is reuse-mode D2D, where D2D nodes communicate with each other using the same uplink (UL) radio resource that is being used by some other cellular user equipment(s) (UEs). In other words, the UL cellular resources occupied by cellular UEs are reused by D2D nodes in their short-range communications. Centralized control of D2D communication can be performed by appropriate signaling between a D2D-capable UE and an evolved Node B (eNB).

Abstract: System and method are disclosed for managing storage space of a magnetic storage device. The system may read data from a sector of the storage space and determine whether the data are successfully read from the sector. If it is determined that the data are not successfully read from the sector, the system may retrieve an address of the sector. The system may further determine whether the sector is subject to media fatigue based on the address. If it is determined that the sector is subject to media fatigue, the system may reallocate the sector subject to media fatigue to a spare sector.

Abstract: From a plurality of messages provided by at least a first license-exempt access node which give usage information for the at least one channel in license-exempt radio spectrum, there is derived channel-specific statistical traffic information. This information for the channel is then provided to a second access node that controls licensed radio spectrum. Or in another embodiment the second access node can get this information by sensing and measuring the channel itself. The second access node retrieves this information from its local memory and sends on the licensed radio spectrum a downlink message having contents, determined from the channel-specific statistical traffic information, for aiding a user equipment UE to access the channel with a probability defined by the contents. The UE receives this message, extracts the contents, and attempts to access that channel in the license-exempt radio spectrum utilizing the defined probability.

Abstract: Fault diagnosis techniques (e.g., effect-cause diagnosis techniques) can be speeded up by, for example, using a relatively small dictionary. Examples described herein exhibit a speed up of effect-cause diagnosis by up to about 160 times. The technologies can be used to diagnose defects using compacted fail data produced by test response compactors. A dictionary of small size can be used to reduce the size of a fault candidate list and also to facilitate procedures to select a subset of passing patterns for simulation. Critical path tracing can be used to handle failing patterns with a larger number of failing bits, and a pre-computed small dictionary can be used to quickly find the initial candidates for failing patterns with a smaller number of failing bits. Also described herein are exemplary techniques for selecting passing patterns for fault simulation to identify faults in an electronic circuit.
