  • Patent number: 12069719
    Abstract: Devices and methods of providing channel occupancy time (COT) are described. After a gNB acquires an unlicensed channel for a COT, the gNB indicates the COT length to a UE using a PDCCH having a DCI formed in accordance with DCI format 2_0. The slot format of the last slot of the COT is indicated using a reserved slot format indicator that is reserved to indicate the end of the COT. The reserved slot format indicator indicates a last slot format of available slot formats of DCI format 2_0. Dummy bits fill the DCI after the reserved slot format indicator. Alternatively, to indicate the COT length, a COT field dedicated to providing the COT is used in the DCI or the CRC is masked using a slot format indication Radio Network Temporary Identifier.

  • Patent number: 12061990
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for static scheduling a neural network implemented in a massively parallel hardware system. The neural network may be scheduled using three different scheduling levels referred to herein as an upper level, an intermediate level, and a lower level. In one embodiment, the upper level includes a hardware or software model of the layers in the neural network that establishes a sequential order of functions that operate concurrently in the hardware system. In the intermediate level, identical processes in the functions defined in the upper level are connected to form a systolic array or mesh and balanced data flow channels are used to minimize latency. In the lower level, a compiler can assign the operations performed by the processing elements in the systolic array to different portions of the hardware system to provide a static schedule for the neural network.
