Abstract:

A method for implementing soft constraints in scheduling comprises receiving a description of circuit behavior. The description is un-timed. A scheduling solution is generated for use in scheduling the description. The scheduling solution includes scheduling variables and an objective function. The scheduling variables schedule the time of at least one operation. The objective function includes a penalty term and constraints comprising at least one hard constraint and at least one soft constraint. The constraints are created on the scheduling variables. The penalty term comprises a slack variable representing violations of the constraints. The penalty term measures the design cost of violating the soft constraint. Following generation of the scheduling solution, the description is scheduled by applying the scheduling solution to the description. Timing information of the description is provided as an output of the scheduling.

International Classification:

H04W 24/08
H04W 76/28

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method includes sending, by an access node, to a user equipment (UE) configuration information for a beam quality reference signal (BQRS) that is associated with a discontinuous reception (DRX)-ON period used for sending a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) to the UE, wherein the BQRS has a spatial quasi-collocated (QCL) relationship with either the PDCCH or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of the PDCCH. The method further includes sending, by the access node, the BQRS to the UE.

Abstract:

A method for operating a user equipment (UE) includes detecting a failure of a first link between the UE and an access node, and based thereon, detecting a second link between the UE and the access node, sending, to the access node, a beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) on one or more physical random access channel (PRACH) resources associated a third link conveying a reference signal, wherein the third link and the second link are quasi co-located (QCLed), wherein the BFRQ includes a group identifier associated with a UE group including the UE, and monitoring one or more PRACH response opportunities associated with the one or more PRACH resources for a beam failure recovery response (BFRP).

Abstract:

A linearity compensation circuit is disclosed for improving the linearity of a sensing signal. The linearity compensation circuit may include a compensator that is capable of receiving a sensing signal from a sensor and generating a compensation signal based on the sensing signal. The linearity compensation circuit may also include an output circuit that is capable of combining the compensation signal and the sensing signal to generate a compensated signal that exhibits an improved linearity. Also disclosed is a sensing apparatus which includes a sensor and the linearity compensation circuit. The sensing apparatus may thus be able to generate a sensing signal that is linear over a wider dynamic range.
